Highest Gratitude
My grandson was charged with serious crimes. Ms. Wells got my grandson's charges dropped after working diligently on his case for almost two years. Because she got his charges dropped, he did not get violated on his probation either. I know it wasn't easy! She has my highest gratitude!
