Posted by anonymous | June 22, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

I was so Thankful I found Attorney Nolan to be my attorney.

Attorney Nolan is the right choice when you find you need an attorney. I found myself arrested and in jail for the first time in my life. I figured I would only be in Jail for a few days or at least a few weeks until they investigated my case and found out what really happened. I was wrong. I was ass...igned a public defender who said there was nothing she could do and I should take a plea deal. That would mean life in prison for me. After talking to very many inmates in jail from all walks of life and different types of cases who had hired attorneys. I was amazed at the lack of commitment of their hired attorneys and the distrust that these inmates had of their own attorneys. Many have spent large retainer fees for their attorneys and yet I keep seeing all these inmates headed for prison many on the advice of their attorneys to take a plea deal. It seems many of these attorneys have retained so many clients that they don't take the time or want to spend the money needed to defend their clients. Most of these inmates, some who have dealt with the legal system for many years, said I do not have a chance to be free as that is the way the system operates, you are guilty and have no chance of being found innocent. I was losing hope seeing so many headed for prison with huge sentences. The only person I seen who had there case dismissed had Attorney Nolan. Then as time passed I again heard of others whose cases had been dismissed and or they were found not guilty. I even heard from many Correctional guards that Attorney Nolan was a great Lawyer and would fight for you. I contacted The law firm of Ahmad & Associates and that was when I finally found someone who knew how things worked. Attorney Nolan was the first person to actually listen to what I had to say. She took the time to show me what was going on in my case and what the prosecution was using and trying to do. She as a person is someone I will always respect. As you can see by reading her other reviews she is an outstanding person who has the experience and knows how the system works. I feel she was worth ten times her fee. I was in jail for years. I had lost hope until Attorney Nolan came into my life. I am now free and my case was dropped. She for real, saved my life. Without Attorney Nolan and her team I would have spent the rest of my life in prison. God is my only Judge. But in our society the way the system works you need someone who has proven she can get positive results for you. Being accused of a crime and spending time in jail is an unbelievable horrible experiences where justice and civilized behavior is not present, especially where I was incarcerated. For the rest of you life you will have to deal with its negative effect on so many things like your health and your finances and peoples opinion of you. Yet without Attorney Nolan I would have no life. Attorney Nolan is and exceptional example which I wish others would emulate. She was the answer to my prayers. I thank God many times a day that I am free now and I thank God I found Attorney Nolan. Peace . .
