Posted by Ralph | March 17, 2014 | Criminal Defense

And at my darkest hour of my life, this bright light walks into my kaos and completely turns it all around.

In a casual night out, what turned out to be one of the worst possible decisions of my life, bringing on possibly long term freedom ending consequential existence for myself and subsequently my family (who by the grace of God were there to support me). The first few days of trying to plan what was g...oing to be my first move was hell for my family and I. Being tossed around and treated like an animal by broward county's justice complex, made my thought process less than effective and the absolute imperative nature to hire an effective counsel is PARAMOUNT. Especially after meeting the public defender who I had no choice but to use at the onset. (seemed to be inconvenienced by my overwhelmed and terrified questioning of him, to tell me what exactly was going to happen to me and the facts of the case. My answer from the public defender was Disturbingly clear I was a dead man if this person (public defender) had a say in it. Almost like he didn't want to be there. I then knew it was not a possibility to let this happen to me without a fight. I needed to retain my own Attorney, a REAL attorney and FAST. I have to be honest, I was terrified beyond words and would not wish it on the devil himself with what my family and I were going through. I prayed. I prayed harder than I had ever in my life. I left it up to god after finally speaking with my wonderful family and amazing wife and went to work. Thats the day God got involved. Thats the day that Joshua D. Rydell walked into our lives , literally at zero hour. Someone that we knew had been personally blessed with mr Rydell's services in a previous, unfortunate experience with the legal system and he could not say enough about how incredible this attorney was and is. I was no expert in this area, so I took the friend on his word and made the call. I COULD NOT HAVE POSSIBLY MADE A BETTER DECISION. My family's call was answered immediately , compassionately questioned about the facts of the case and my status. Not just where I was being held, but how I was holding up mentally. Tell Ralph im on the case and not to worry anymore and he will be there to personally visit me in the MORNING. He was a man of his word and got to me early that next morning to go over the facts of the case and bring the first breath of real professionalism,expertise and genuine concern for us since this nightmare began. Joshua Rydell was an expert in my case and an expert in cutting through all the mess and chaos in the courthouse, that can unfortunately overwhelm most attorneys and then not be as sharp as one would most certainly pray for in a nightmarish proceeding like this. I swear it was like he almost instantly turned things around for my family and I and assured us that there were several options to help ease payment for his services (which was never his concern and im not kidding). In the few days it did take to put this amazing defence together, any and all calls from my family were returned immediately, personally by mr Joshua Rydell with no thought of an impertinent question or timing, but with compassion. (who does this anymore?) . Before I could waist another sleepless night, mr rydell had my case designed with the best expert direction possible . It obviously showed to the court and quite frankly the prosecutor had no idea what was about to happen to their case when he walked in. It showed on their faces. Yes, that day God did get involved. He used a family friend to remember this incredible attorneys name when we need him most...... that name is JOSHUA D. RYDELL.....(thank you joshua, forever your friend). -= Ralph-=
