Found Rory through an attorney who is a family friend.
He jumped on the case less than a day before seeing the judge and got us the best possible outcome for our situation.
Finally get my husband back home thanks to Rory.
Attorney Driscole is an excellent lawyer! I hired him in 2018 to help me with my case. Before hiring Rory, I interviewed several other lawyers. I choose Rory because he is professional, has attention to detail, and is commitment to his clients needs. Rory understood my situation, explained the reasons and solutions, and he got it done!

Great Attorney
I found out about Mr. Driscole when I was incarcerated in Northampton County Prison. Many people charged with crimes at the prison were speaking highly of Mr. Driscole and how he was one of the best criminal attorneys. I ended up hiring him and he did a fantastic job.

Extremely Hardworking
Mr. Driscole helped me out of a criminal matter. He was there for me from the on set to the very end and always was available for me during a very nerve-racking time for me.
