Borsberry Law Offices - True Professionals

First of all, let me say that if you are guilty, or if "surprises" that are true are entered against you in court, don't expect Mr.Borsberry to get you off the hook. Expect a plea agreement and consider your self lucky. Mr. Borsberry is committed to justice, not winning. I have had to hire several la...wyers over the last 20 years and I found the attorneys on both sides to be strutting, pompous buffoons. Once, in court, an opposing attorney made this grandiose sweeping gesture with his arm and referred to me as "THE DE-FEND-ANT". As if since I was defending myself, I must be guilty. What a joke. Judges aren't stupid. And I hope he reads this review. He might learn something. I was getting the idea that all lawyers were pretty slimy until I started working with Mr. Borsberry. Walking into his office was like walking into a lab where you would expect to see equations on blackboards. Borsberry Law Offices functions like a well oiled machine where all the staff are aware of what's going on with your case. Mr. Borsberry was so cool in court because he was dealing with facts, not show. I must say it was enjoyable to see the look on the opposing attorney's face as if he was thinking, "Oh Fuuuudge". Like Ralphie with the lugnuts. If you are truly innocent, Mr. Borsberry is the attorney to get. I really enjoyed watching the wheels go around in his head. And price? I just had my transmission rebuilt. $1700. But that's just part of life. Mr. Borsberry (like my mechanic) spent years in schooling and spent an untold amount of money to qualify him for the job. And then, the law constantly changes and demands continuous study. Really, Mr. Borsberry and his staff are the most professional and caring organization I've ever dealt with.

Mr. Borsberry did an outstanding job defending me, for accusation of rape. He did a great job interviewing the persons involved in the case, and the verdict was not guilty. I highly recommend him.
