| Hired Attorney
The best lawyer there is.
When she was a public defender with a huge caseload, she always had time understood everything. I was struck by how intelligent she was. I drove without a license but I was signing my daughter up for hot lunch and it was too far to walk especially in winter time. I've never had a dui it was just unpaid fines, anyways have a license now and drive a 2017 Honda Accord Sport now. She fought like Johnny Cochran knew the law like F Lee Bailey. Seriously it was like watching the Michael Jordan of the 90s destroy everyone, Thats here in court i haven't found someone better on YouTube, T.V. or any other medium. At the end of the trail I had no fees, and the court understood. I couldn't believe it! A Public Defender was the Babe Ruth of law. I could go on, and on, but I have a life just like people to know about Mrs Rapkock. You're welcome.
