Excellent Lawyer

My nephew was arrested for a series of federal offenses. At the time of his arrest the US Atty was going to indict for 11 felonies. Before I hired Mr. FitzGerald I interviewed several "powerful firms" but found that most of them treated me and my family like we were second class citizens. Plus I ...didn't like that I could not call directly and talk with the lawyer without being put on hold or had to wait for a call back 2 days later. I hired Mr. FitzGerald Due to Mr. FitzGerald's negotiating with the US Atty they agreed to limit the charges to only 4 felonies all which were so intertwined with one another that it permitted Mr. FitzGerald to argue at sentencing that the sentencing guidelines should be adjusted downward, which the court did. My nephew ended up with a sentence to serve of less than 18months instead of the 48 months the government wanted. My nephew will be out before Christmas 2017. Mr. FitzGerald is a former police detective/sergeant who knows the legal and justice system inside and out. He has worked in the court systems and criminal justice system for over 30 years and is well versed with law enforcement and the judicial systems. It was surprising that he has only been an attorney since 2011 with his knowledge of the law. Mr FitzGerald kept me apprised every step of the way, was always available anytime I called. As I read in his other reviews before I hired him, he always answers his own phone or calls back immediately. He is a very good lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help.
