Felony Conviction removed from my record

I was previously convicted of felony robbery and possession of a firearm charges and I served 6 years in prison for that conviction. At the time I didn’t use first offender. Ms.Lilley represented me for a retro first offender act so that first offender could be applied to my case even though my s...entence was completed several years ago. She handled my case in a professional manner. I was confident in hiring her from reading her reviews. The reassurance her other clients had in her solidified my decision in hiring her. She was able to get the Retro first offender approved by a judge and able to get my convictions discharged and completely off my record. Having a clean record is invaluable to me. I’m so thankful for her service.

Possession Intent Distribute Marijuana; Possession Cocaine; Possession Firearm Of Crime and Theft by Receiving

I had a public defender for my case and the offer was prison time. My Dad hired Ashanti in December 2017 and I was sentenced with no jail on January 31st. Ms. Lilley handled all my charges including probation. I’m free. While I was in jail Ms. Lilley came to see me often in jail and told me everythin...g will be ok. I appreciate that. I would recommend anyone with drugs, gun and probation to hire Ms. Lilley.

Criminal defense

I hired Ashanti Lilley for a case that was already set for jury trial. Plea deal was to sign to 4 years of incarceration. I hired a lawyer before hiring Ashanti who I told the exact same story to. He told me there was nothing he could do for but go to trial. A week before trial I hired Ashanti Lilley..., in a short period of time, not only did I not have to go to jury trial but all charges was either dismissed or reduced. 4 years deal turned into 75 hours community service. I am 33, I have never seen a lawyer not only work my case but acknowledge me more about my rights at the same time. Everything she said she was gone do for my case she did it. Thanks to her I have my freedom.

Assault & battery, violation of oath charges dismissed

I was a former correctional officer at augusta state medical prison. I had a run in with a inmate who refuse to close his flap to his room. I called for the lieutenants but no one should up. He then assaulted me with bodily fluids. I had to hit him multiple times on the arm for him to put his hand ba...ck in and to secure the flap. Two days later I was fired for the incident, later I found out that the inmate had full blown aids and that the warden at the time wanted to press charges. So I got legal help and went to see ashanti. She helped me so much. When I went to turn myself in she worked amazingly hard I got out in less than 24 hours and about 2-3 weeks my case was dismissed.
