Very grateful parents

Tara and her team are outstanding!! Tara truly cares for her clients ,returned every call immediately.we hired Tara for our sons case and Tara was very forthcoming on what to expect and did not bs us on any of it . In court I felt my son was well represented ,and the outcome was the best it could ha...ve been in his situation. Lawyers can cost a lot of money and my husband & myself have never felt like it was money well spent until hiring Tara to defend our son .

She will be better than your first choice

I highly recommend Tara to anyone who expects their attorney to provide the best possible outcome and put forth maximum effort. I was caught in a bad spot (lost job opportunities, could not even volunteer in some instances) I spoke with several attorneys prior to speaking with Tara and they all wante...d me to do PTI, as if fighting an unjust arrest wasn't even a possibility in their minds. Tara was able to both keep my anxiety at a minimum while also realizing the seriousness of my situation. Bottom line, she was the 4th attorney I spoke with and I am extremely grateful I did, DO NOT settle when it comes to your life and your record. I had my charges dismissed and my dignity restored. 10/10, I'd recommend her to anyone.

FOREVER GRATEFUL MOM, THANK YOU TARA, YOUR TERRIFIC!

My son was charged with a distribution of marijuana. I was heartbroken and distraught that he made such bad choices that could have ruined his life. Tara went above and beyond, working diligently to avoid serious fines and possible jail time. She was was able to get him into a PTI Program with an ear...ly hearing. Any time I called her, off hours or weekends, she always contacted me back, right away with the answers I needed. Her guidance and knowledge gave me such a sense of peace and comfort. It's every parents worst nightmare to see your child going down the wrong path in life, but she was able to talk to him and give him the advice and guidance he needed to get his life back on track. Not only is she an intelligent, brilliant attorney, she has the compassion, wisdom and integrity to help young teenagers realize what is important in their lives. Thanks to her amazing work, counseling, community service, new employment and education, he is on his way to becoming the young man that I am so proud to call my son and it's all thanks to her. I will be forever grateful to Tara. She is an asset to all young teenagers who have the privilege and honor to have her in their corner and is to be commended for a job so well done. I am forever grateful. Thank you Tara. Dee K.

Brilliant Attorney who went above and beyond expectation

I retained Tara to file a motion on my behalf for removal from Megan's law registration and Community/parole Supervision for Life once I met the eligibility requirements. Generally this process can be tedious, expensive and can drag on forever. Not so with Tara who was able to guide me through the pr...ocess step by step in the most expeditious manner. I was always kept in the loop as she would inform me every step along the way and respond to my calls and emails promptly. She was thoroughly prepared, honest and transparent with me throughout the process. Not only was she successful in my removal from Megan and CSL but to my surprise she was able to get it done where I didn’t have to appear in court before a judge. I truly can say she went above and beyond my expectation.

Excellent

Tara is a very knowledgable attorney, and knows what she is doing and knows what she is talking about. She had numerous resources and connections, and has experience. She is smart and quick on her feet. I was very happy with the outcome of my situation and i would not have gotten it without her. She ...will put you in the best possible situation and get you the best deal. She will constantly keep you informed, and answer any questions you have. I would personally like to thank her for her help, i highly recommend her, and i would recommend her to my friends
