This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Completely Exceeded Expectations for Drug Court Case

Mr. Ready was excellent at responding back and forth with me whenever I had questions about the current state of my case. He was always very honest and open with me, and he made me feel much more secure in my situation with having him as a lawyer. I would highly recommend Mr. Ready to anyone facing c...riminal and such charges in and around Hernando, MS. Although I hope to never have to deal with this legal situation again, I can confidently say Mr. Ready put me in the best position possible to receive a lenient verdict. I am very thankful to have had him as my lawyer.

Corporate Attorney

Worked with George about a year and a half. I have worked with a variety of attorney's and find George's demeanor perfect for my taste. He's a no nonsense guy, quick and to the point, and smart enough to steer us in the right direction if he doesn't know the answer. Kind of refreshing for an attor...ney.

Grateful

When unexpected events changed our life and we needed an attorney, there was no question as to whom we would ask to represent us. Mr. Ready is a very honest and trustworthy man. He kept us informed every step of the case. We were very pleased with the results and are thankful to Mr. Ready for taking ...such good care of our family during difficult times. We highly recommend Mr. Ready to anyone needing an attorney.

Outstanding on all concerned fronts

I have used Attorney Ready for several legal matters. Whether small and simple or intricate and complex he handled them all as if I was his only case. Recently Attorney Ready handled a personal injury case for a family member. He was thorough, detailed, a tenacious negotiator and kept us informed t...hroughout the process. When the case was settled he got us six times the initial offer. His background as a judge really helps to put forth a strong case and saves a lot of time. I highly recommend Attorney Ready for your legal matters. He's simply outstanding!
