Dismissal of Criminal Charges: Assualt and Battery, Damage to Personal Property

In 2012, I was charged with assualt and battery, and injury to personal property. Subsequently, I was diligent about searching for the best criminal defense attorney in Raleigh. Out of all the attorneys I spoke with, Leza Driscoll was, by far, the most knowlegeable and professional. After speaking w...ith Leza, I was 110% confident that she had the best ability to defend me against the charges. Also, she was highly recommended by other legal professionals. She did a remarkable job in preparing my defense. Despite having a prior criminal record, Leza was still able to get all the charges against me dismissed. Furthermore, she is currently in the process of also having the charges expunged from my record. She is an outstanding criminal defense attorney and I highly recommend her. She has a great rapport with the prosecutors and judges in criminal court, and a very likable personality. Because of her qualities, I always felt confident in court and the process was painless. Additonally, she is excellent about communicating; she always responded to my phone calls and emails, and kept me informed. She did an abundance of research and provided an abundance of case law to support my defense. She practiced my testimony with me for a few hours, until she felt like I would be comfortable on the witness stand. She met me at the scene of the incident and retraced the events sequence with me. She was very thorough and diligent in preparing my defense. Based on her strong work ethic, it was no surprise she produced the most positive results possible. Her fees are reasonable and her services significantly outweigh the client's cost. With Leza Driscoll representing me, I honestly, was never worried about the criminal charges against me. Unlike many attorneys, she cares more about her clients and more about doing a great job than attorney's fees. She is great to work with and she will make you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The fact that she is so likable from the client's perspective and the court's perspective makes a great combination in acheiving the best results for the client. In addition to being amicable, she is also a tough attorney that will relentlessly fight for her client. She prepared a flawless defense for me and her dialogue with the court was unwavering or firm. She is an expert in knowing the law and was very precise and accurate in presenting my defense to the court. I could not have imagined a better outcome. For anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney, Leza Driscoll should be your top choice. She produces outstanding results and you will not be disappointed. Leza Driscoll made my life a lot easier.
