I've dealt with many lawyers over the years and she's the best! Let me be honest, some people who have legal problems have them due to some of their own irresponsibility and when it comes time to pay the piper they fall back to the blamer mentality that got them into trouble in the first place. Take... some of the reviews posted with this in mind. She was my son's lawyer and obviously had a deep bench of experience. I was with him (and her) almost every step of the way. She was dead honest, not too optimistic and not pessimistic. She foresaw problems, flaws in the prosecutions case, and got many charges dismissed and those that she couldn't did the best any person could reasonably be expected too. She knows the law, knows the system, knows the players, and knows how to get the best deal. She was always where she said she'd be when she said she would be there, and always spot on with judgement calls.. The case unwound over 1.5 years so I got to see a lot, it wasn't one or two good days, it was often. I highly recommend her, if you treat her with respect and listen to her advice, It is unlikely you could do better at any price.
