Client Testimonials

I wanted to take an opportunity to thank you. Things really worked out great. I remember being frantic and on the verge of a nervous breakdown during the first few weeks after my arrest. I originally had a court appointed attorney that claimed to be a "fraud specialist" and that he did not know much about drug cases. He went on to tell me that he could get me a deal for 15 years if I plead quickly. To him I was just another number. Soon after I spoke with friends about my situation and asked you for representation. Immediately you got to brainstorming and planning your attack. You have been very attentive to my individual needs. You did an outstanding job. You fought hard, listened to what I had to say, negotiated vigorously and always dropped what you were doing to take my calls. You gave me my life back.
