Best Attorney Ever!! Highly recommend

Mr. Bain fought a serious case for my son, my son was a juvenile at the time facing some charges that would have certified him as an adult, and put my son behind bars for years. But gratefully Mr. Bain fought a good fight and my son came out with 1 year probation and a misdemeanor charge. My sons tru...th was gratefully clear with the help of Mr. Bain and his good expertise in law. Best Attorney Ever, you have to trust him with your case and your teen's case.
