No lie. The reviews are true. Best attorney I ever hired.

Anisa over delivered in court. Also went out of her way and took time to help me solve a problem after court in which she didn’t have to. I’m very thankfull and fully satisfied. Just a good person period. Highly recommend her if you care about the outcome of your situation. Worth double her prices in... my opinion. Thank you.

Mrs. Jordan is well known and respected in the community. She is someone I felt I can trust her from the first phone conversation. She treated my case with needed wisdom and honesty. Her intervention and support lead to a satisfactory resolution. I am very grateful.

Posted by Sirmetrius | June 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Excellent Traffic Attorney!

I don’t know where to start! I found Anisa on a lawyer directory. I reached out to her because I was seeking council for 3 traffic tickets that I racked up in a fender bender that I had gotten into. 2 of the 3 tickets I wasn’t worried about however the 3rd had me very nervous because it was my 2nd ti...cket for driving with no insurance so I knew I would be suspended, especially since I was already on supervision for the first occurrence, and a suspension would affect my livelihood. When I initially spoke to her, after giving her the details of my case, she was very transparent with me about fees and such. She was neutral about the possibility of the outcome which was hope for me since I had called another attorney that had given me a grim outlook. After our phone consultation I felt fairly confident about having Anisa as my counsel. In court, on 6/14, things looked bleak however thankfully her experience and in depth through knowledge of the law enabled her to negotiate a plea for me that would allow me to keep my license valid and my fine far lower than expected. From beginning to end I thought Anisa’s services was wonderful, her fees economical and well worth it, & I thought that her communication with me was great. I am beyond elated and grateful for Anisa’s services and I will certainly be recommending her!

Straight-forward, Experienced, and Reliable!

Anisa is an excellent attorney that understands different various aspects of the law and was able to assist with my traffic violation. She was very truthful and gave me a breakdown of how the process would go. It was comforting to have her fulfill my expectations and make the entire situation as ea...sy as possible. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
