Thank you!

I was charged with a felony for a small amount of marijuana. At first, I went to one of the bigger law firms around the Triad and was told I had no shot and would be lucky to take a plea deal that would include a low tier felony conviction. This result was not acceptable to me given the small amount ...of marijuana (less than a gram). Emily and her colleague Steven awarding were able to negotiate a plea of a misdemeanor of less than a half oz of marijuana which was the exact goal I was shooting for. Based on my reading, I knew I would have to plea to something, but a felony plea would have cost my my job and my family’s livelihood. Steven and Emily were caring, throrough and accommodative. On top of it all they had a very competitive rate and have been kind enough to work with me on payment. I would highly recommend Steven and Emily to anyone who gets in a similar situation. Thank you and bless you guys!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
