Mason

Mr. Durrence was wonderful to deal with and he made everything so easy for us. He took over my sons case and we did not have to worry about doing anything with the court. We are very satisfied with the way this case was handled.

Very Professional, Timely and Responsive! Great Lawyer!

Excellent lawyer! I had a very difficult case and Mr. Durrence was excellent in fighting for me which resulted in a positive outcome. He was very responsive and answered all of my questions and concerns. He is also very timely and has a sense of urgency to help you get the case resolved as quickly as... possible. He is also fair and ethically sound. He is very professional and his previous experience as a prosecutor gives him an upper hand over other lawyers. Thank you Mr. Durrence.

If you need a GREAT attorney, hire Ross.

Ross handled my criminal case quickly, efficiently and we had a great outcome. We went into his office and was full of stress, left with confidence that Ross would take very good care of our case. He usually answered the phone and always returned phone calls quickly. Communicated with us well ...so we could understand all the complications in the legal field. I feel like we made a perfect choice.
