Better than I expected

When I needed an attorney, I contacted ones that I knew or were recommended. After talking to a few, a good friend said that Molly was the best and highly recommended. That was a correct statement. From the first call she was on top of my case. The attention that I received was unexpected. Anytime I... tried to contact her I was connected quickly. My case was cleared rather quickly with me being kept informed every step of the way. I would use her again and recommend to anyone needing help.

Defence

My first time in need of an attorney. Very trustworthy and dependable. Went through my case determined to fight for me. Putting in countless hours filing motions. Explaining everything to me helping me to understand it. She handle my case like it was personal to her and not a job. She is well respec...ted in the courtroom by judges and prosecuting attorneys.

Best Attorney by far to have on your side!

No one wants to ever need an attorney. However, if you do find yourself in need, Molly is the most dedicated and professional attorney that I have ever worked with. She is dedicated and the fact that she loves what she does shows in everything that she does. I would recommend Molly to anyone with a...ny problem. I will never be in court again without Molly by my side.

Top of the line.

In October 2017, I hired Molly for my legal case against the feds. She did a phenomenal job with my case. I had no idea what I was in for when I was charged. When I hired her, I felt like I was beyond the limits of help and that there was no coming back. Molly changed that for me. She guided me thro...ugh the case and explained every detail of what to expect. She turned my whole mindset about my case around. During our first bond hearing, Molly cross examined a witness the prosecutor brought in and from that moment I knew I had hired the right attorney. The court recognized that the witness had no reason to even take the stand. During the next bond hearing, Molly came to court ready to battle. The prosecution lied to the court spouting out egregious false allegations and she took them out at every turn. The prosecutors were reprimanded on the spot. Molly did an amazing job in court. She got me out on bond without hesitation. During my time on home detention, I had moments where there wouldn’t be anything going on the case but each time I called her, she had something new she was working on and was preparing for any situation that we may encounter at the next hearing. At the end of my case I was looking at 8+ years of incarceration and life time registry as a sex offender. Molly was able to get the indicted charge changed and I was only sentenced to 1 year of home detention with a low-level sex offender registry. She has a strong tenacity to defend her clients with every fiber of her being. When I first met Molly, she said she does not take time off. She told me she works on her cases at home and on the weekends. Her extensive knowledge of the criminal justice system is apparent when she meets with you to discuss your case. She was able to tell me about a vast majority of the cases she had read through to prepare for my case. She had quite a few charts that she had put together to compare my case to others. Her approach to her career is top of the line professional. Molly changed my life. I am so very glad that I was able to have her in my life throughout my case. She gave me back so much of my life by defending me in federal court. I could be locked away but because of her, I am out in the world succeeding. If I could rank her with more than 5 stars, I would probably rank her at 100. I highly recommend you hire her. She is a top of the line criminal defense attorney. You would be wrong to pass up an opportunity to have Molly Parmer defend you in court.

If you haven’t already heard about her, you will!! Don’t wait until it’s too late, to listen!!!

Tenacious, is the one word I would use to describe Molly! I was facing what seemed like insurmountable odds and at every turn Molly was more prepared than the opposition. She kept me on My toes, made sure that I was informed and that I wasn’t a hindrance to myself. Never once, did I feel compromised ...or that Molly wasn’t on My team. I’ve done over 22 years in Federal and state prisons, I’ve been in prisons from ADX Florence to Attica state prison, Ny. I’ve seen people get the best defense possible as well as being railroaded by their own representation. Molly Parmer, is definitely in a small exclusive group in My experience who actually fight at every interval for their clients. Having dealt with the system since 1989”, over the years I have acquired a limited but fully functional knowledge of the law, which oftentimes puts me in conflict with attorneys I’ve had in the past (paid attorneys), lawyers who felt that it was their job to think for me but, not speak for Me, attorneys who would acquiesce at the sight of a prosecuting attorney or a tough Judge, when I first met Ms. Parmer, I was mistrustful of all officers of the court (that’s what every attorney is Paid or appointed) but, after seeing her fight for me in court she had My full confidence! Molly Parmer, (with all do respect) is a pit bull in a skirt!!
