Determined, transparent and completely invested

Justin came to my desperate aide as a referral. After making a series of very unfortunate decisions that led to my arrest and a pile up of impossible charges, I didn't think I had any other option other than to serve time. I was lost and so was my family in the legality of it all. Once Justin came in...to play, I wasn't once left in the dark. There was a roadmap to redemption, guided steps of what I needed to accomplish and complete transparency of what the process looked like. He not only cared about my case but he cared about the relationship I had with my family. He made it personal and he TOOK it personally. He was more than a lawyer and cared about what happened outside of the courtroom. His level of professionalism is clearly respected by those around him. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome and am grateful for everything he's done to give me this second chance.

Superb

Justin embodies all of the many qualities I knew I needed to find in a lawyer when I was arrested in April. At first, I did not think I could afford a lawyer but also did not qualify for a public defender, I was scared. I found Justin through social media and from the moment I contacted him I was rea...ssured. First and foremost, he has great integrity for his work, I was not in the dark for a second of this process and he kept me fully informed and updated every step of the way. Negotiating skills is a must in a criminal defense lawyer and I was extremely impressed with Justin’s capabilities in that arena. Not only was the issue settled without having to go to court as I was intended to upon my arrest, additionally my charges were brought down from a misdemeanor to disorderly conduct. He is not a lawyer who is intimidated by a case, judge or obstacle. Last but not least he is personable on a multitude of levels. Working with someone who carries such a professional and driven demeanor is comforting during a time when your future in no longer under your control. What is under your control however is the lawyer you chose to represent you and I’m more than satisfied with my decision of choosing Justin.

Great lawyer!!!

Justin has been nothing but helpful with my cases where I thought I didn't have the upper end. He is very knowledgeable in what he does and doesn't believe in losing. He will be representing me in the future and will recommend him to my family and friends as well.

Exceptional knowledge

Justin is by far the most professional lawyer I’ve ever worked with. He knows the law more in depth than any veteran lawyer I’ve requested assistance from in the past. I wouldn’t request services from anyone else in the future. He’s honest from the beginning and has your best interests at heart. Unde...rstands the court system and will go well beyond anyone else’s capabilities to help you.
