Always gives 110% to criminal cases

When I first contacted Roger, he was not my attorney but gave me more of his time and personal assistance than anyone else had. He kept me informed of what was going on in my case and even assisted in contacting the attorney for my son and informed me of what could happen in his case. He gives 110% ...to assist his clients and even those who are not or may not be a client. In my experience this is very unusual for an attorney. When we went to court, the judges office notified him that day we were to be in court as soon as we could get there. He cancelled everything else he had to be in court with me. He did everything he could to assist me and presented a very convincing case for me.
