Dependable and Determined
I had a criminal case and was very afraid that it would affect my profession negatively. Attorney Butterfield stated to me, "Trust me" and I did. Not only did the case get thrown out but my job is not in jeopardy because I didn't have an conviction. Thank you Attorney Butterfield!
