Best decision

my life was turned in-side-out. The local police came to my home and communicated that a young lady I helped told her parents that I raped her. The policemen appeared to be very angry and it was obvious that they came to arrest me. To them I was already guilty because of who she was. I could see my l...ife, as many visions passed before me, being destroyed. I searched the internet and found Ernest Dubose, Esq. I met with Mr. Dubose, a local attorney and after the meeting I felt at ease because of his confidence, knowledge about criminal law and attitude toward the issues related to me. The next day Mr Dubose contacted the detective and communicated that he is representing me. This was great and I was feeling better knowing that a great attorney specializing in criminal law. Over a 10 month period MR Dubose stayed in contact with the detective and provided feedback on the process and status. After speaking with Mr. Dubose a sense of peace and calmness came over me. I was at ease after our conservation. He went to work utilizing his skills, experience and professional relationships at the local level to gain insights about the case. About 2 days later I got a call from Mr Dubose indicating that they got the prosecutor to drop the case. They presented my side of the story and persuaded the prosecutor that the young lady was lying. It is great when you have people that believe in you and fight for your justice. This was critical because the young lady had convinced the detective that I raped her. I was elated about this great news. Mr. Dubose (always on top of everything and has a "go get you" attitude with confident) and as a local attorney (a respected, successful and well known attorney in the local area) is great at what he does. Thanks for believing in me, and helping me maintain my integrity, lifestyle and freedom.

Very fast, and reliable serivce

I called Attorney DuBose when my brother was in trouble. It was VERY late on a friday night and I honestly didn't think he would pick up. He answered and I told him about the issue and the urgency to get a lawyer to defend him. Ernest explained to me what steps needed to be taken, and provided an a...ffordable rate for which he would go an represent my brother. I hired him within a few hours and he was there. I really appreciated his commitment to fast, and reliable service. I would totally hire him again if I need to. :)

Amazing attorney

Not just a great and knowledgeable attorney but also a caring one. I never met an attorney who actually cared about the outcome and well being of his client as Mr. DuBose does. He will keep you updated, he will give you hope and he will do the best that can be done given your situation. Definitely r...ecommended.

Efficient, Reliable & Trustworthy

From my professional business undertakings with Mr. Ernest DuBose I would recommend him to anyone that needs that personal touch. He assisted my company in a very delicate negotiation that resulted in a merger with another company. We are now in the process of changing our whole corporate structu...re.

A trustworthy and knowledgeable Advocate for Justice,

Mr. DuBose is the consummate professional pitbull, who you would want to represent you in the legal arena. He's compassionate about his client's needs and concerns. Recently, I was in need of an attorney to handle a pressing issue which needed to be resolved in a respectful and and an efficient manne...r. Attorney DuBose amazed me with his level of past court rulings regarding the rights of fathers. He calmed me down by educating me on the specifics of my situation and for that I will always be grateful. I will always endorse and recommend to my clients, my family and friends without any hesitation. Ernest glad to be one of your clients!!!
