2 Felonies and a misdemeanor? No Problem

First of before I talk about how good of a lawyer Mr. Florio I have to mention that he is an even better person. In august of 2015 my home was raided by police by way of serving a warrant for somebody that used to rent the house I was at the time living in. Someone I had never met in life. The police... came in my house found 2 ounces of Marijuana and my registered gun. They arrested me and charged me with 2 felonies(Possession with intent)(Possession of a firearm in commission of a crime) and a minor mis. Mr. Florio got all those cases dismissed after fighting for basically 2 1/2 years. I can finally sleep well. He was truly concerned with my well being and did everything he could to stop me from being labeled a criminal. He also worked with me when it came to paying him. Thank you so much Mr.Florio. You are the best.
