2nd OWI Case

Ms Rushing was able to provide a legal service that went above and beyond my expectations. She patiently explained my realistic options, and made sure I was ready to face my sentencing. She was able to exceed any of my expectations by securing a sentence that not only avoided jail time, but also allo...wed me to retain my driving privileges; something that I did not think was even possible in my case. I am extremely grateful to Ms Rushing and her team, and highly reccommend her to anyone needing legal help!

Sealed Public Intox Ticket; Friendly and Efficient Attorney

Sydney Rushing, my lawyer, did an amazing job with my case. She was very professional, efficient and worked diligently to get the best possible results for my case. I was charged with a public intoxication ticket, and with her hard work, she was able to get the case sealed and hidden under my record ...to avoid any convictions. Thankfully, I was sentenced to 6 months of non-reporting probation because I am an out-of-state college student. Sydney was very prompt with her responses to me and made sure that I was fully aware of all circumstances regarding my case. If I had any questions, she had no hesitations answering my questions and making sure that I also felt comfortable within the situation. Mrs. Rushing did a truly fantastic job and I would absolutely recommend her to any other client in any criminal or civil case.

Excellent

Mrs. Rushing was nothing but professional. She was excellent at conveying information to me so I understand exactly what was going on with my case and walk me through all information pertaining to my case. She was readily available to answer any questions that I had. She also brought a calming presen...ce which gave me confidence that I was receiving great representation and that I was getting a fair sentence. I can not thank her enough for her help and legal excellence in this troublesome time for me.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
