This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Committed & Professional Attorney

Mr. Franklin is an outstanding defense attorney. He is a hard working and very competent. Mr. Franklin is very experienced and seems to have endless energy. He researches ever possible advantage under the law to get a fair resolution to your criminal case. Most important Mr. Franklin cares, which is... rare in this day and age. One of our adult children faced serious felony charges, which was were influenced as a result of combat service related injuries. Mr. Franklin was able to work see and work out a program with the State Attorney that was treatment based versus incarceration.
