Hope restablished

My son was sentenced 50 years in SCDC at 19 years old and devastated the whole family, because he never should have been sentenced that harshly. Mrs. Best came to prison and spoke to him and gave him hope and life to fight for an appeal! All he remembers as we continue to fight is Mrs. Elizabeth Fran...klin-Best! We will never forget the words and compassion along with hope she gave to us! There have never been a lawyer in our experience that is generally concerned about justice. I will recommended Mrs. Best every time to anyone.

Thank you for sharing your family’s story. A 50-year sentence imposed on a 19-year-old is life-altering for everyone involved, and we understand the weight your family carries. We’re honored that our meeting with your son provided some measure of hope during an incredibly difficult time. The fight for justice can be long, but having a family as supportive as yours makes all the difference. We’ll continue to be here as you move forward, and we’re grateful for your trust in our firm.
