Awesome Attorney

My son hired Mrs. Huffman-Kendrick after being charged with the possession and selling of narcotics. I went with him to his initial consultation and was very impressed with her by the way she listened and was up-front about potential outcomes for my son. I actually trusted her from the beginning. Sh...e is awesome!

Traffic ticket

I had an accident, and Mrs. Kendrick got my charges dismissed. This office is wonderful and very easy to work with,

Cannot imagine how life would've been, had we not hired Mrs. Kendrick.

If anyone I ever come across needs a lawyer, I will be giving them Carol's name and number immediately. I am not saying that it is okay for people that commit crimes to go unpunished, but they do deserve good representation. In my family's case, Huffman and Kendrick Law Firm went above and beyond any...thing we ever expected. When your only son makes a huge mistake and is facing a lot of prison time, you do what you have to do. What we had to do was make sure that we could get Ms. Kendrick to represent him. We were able to hire her, thank God, and we were never dissatisfied at all. Carol does not sugarcoat. She is very honest and realistic about what is going on with your case, even if it's something you don't want to hear. We used her on a small case also in which the prosecutor was really trying to twist things around.. Had we not hired Ms Kendrick on that small matter, there would have been a horrible outcome. I think no matter what kind of legal problems you are having, you should at least give her a call and see if she will take your case... From traffic tickets all the way up to really big mistakes. I hope we never need a lawyer again, but if we do, we will not hire anyone else. I truly don't think there are any other attorneys in this area that are as good, and as thorough as Carol.
