My husband, Jerry, was in a truly terrifying and unjust legal situation. He was facing 30 days in jail and a $500 fine for a misdemeanor he did not commit. We were both new to the legal system and completely overwhelmed by the process, especially after the judge seemed to be set on a specific outcome, regardless of the facts.
The most difficult part was finding an attorney. We spoke with many lawyers who either couldn't take the case or didn't want to because they said it wasn't worth their time or was too expensive. They wouldn't even sit down with us to hear our side of the story.
Then Jerry found Robert (Bob) in a Google search. When Jerry called him on a Friday, Bob was willing to meet the very next day. From the moment we met, Bob listened intently. He reviewed the information we had, explained our options clearly, and offered an affordable rate. Although a previous engagement in a murder trial prevented Bob from attending our hearing, he assured us that his partner, Paul, was more than qualified to represent us.
Paul was just as wonderful. He was able to calm our nerves and put us at ease, even sharing a few jokes that made the anxious wait before the judge much more bearable. He walked us through every possible scenario and spoke with the prosecutor, presenting the evidence we had gathered. Because of his efforts, the prosecutor agreed to have the case dismissed.
We are so incredibly thankful for both Robert and Paul. Their professionalism, expertise, and personalized approach made a scary situation so much more manageable. We highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal and affordable help.
