Excellent Attorney
Mr. Humphrey is a truly dedicated attorney that I would recommend to anyone. Once I hired him he was very informative about my case, and was activate all the way thru. I had 5 misdemeanors facing 10 months in jail and he got it drop to 2 misdemeanor and 11 months probation (NO JAIL TIME).
