Saved my Life!!!!!!!!!
I was charged with Attempted Murder and looking at going to prison for 31 years to Life. As you can imagine my fear of being wrongful accused of such a serious crime to add to it other attorneys did not believe I was innocent and they were telling me to plea guilty. Shady Yassin was the only attorney...
