Gave me back my life!!

10 months ago our entire family was devastated, My son was charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault and was possibly facing 20-40 years in prison. To a mother, this is just a step from the worse fate and we needed to act quickly. I contacted Jonathan from Crisp and Associates and immedi...ately things started to move . 10 of the hardest months passed as Jonathan and Private Investigator "Skip" prepared to fight for my son's future. A few days ago , after a 2 day trial and 6 hours of deliberation, the verdict came in. NOT GUILTY of the charge Criminal attempt to commit murder, NOT GUILTY of the aggravated assault with deadly weapon. Jonathan and Skip rocked that courtroom aggressively proving self defense and the next day my son was reunited with his family! Jonathan was sharp and quick, Skip , a retired detective, quietly observed offering his input and the 2 of them together were a hard team to come up against. Thank you both for saving my son's future and saving this family.. I 100% recommend Crisp and associates to anyone in any situation, they will fight for your life! The Rijo's~

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
