Unknown Warrant out for 7 years

Found out I had a warrant out for my arrest from back when I was in college that had been out there for 6/7 years that I didn’t know about and called to see how they could help. Taylon was super nice and easy to talk to and had my warrant gone and case dismissed within two days of talking to her. Mad...e my life so easy for a dumb mistake I made 7 years ago!

5 stars and my review went to google as well

5 Stars and this I waited until resolution to rate my law firm because I wanted to be fair.  I had dismissed earlier counsel, a major risk for me, to hire W&P.  So many times in life we regret choices like these, but not this one.  It was THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE.     I want to be honest s...o you know what to expect.  The firm is not going to coddle you   If you don't ask, don't expect them to explain.  Annnnd, if you want them to explain, don't pull a Laura and panic or employ your own lawyerly presumptions to the mix… Ask and set a time frame in which you would like an answer.  This team is exemplary at what they do.  They got a better outcome than even earlier counsel claimed was possible.  Let me be clear, I am a prior felon who faced charges larger than anything I’d ever dreamed yet today I am home with my family enjoying my life.  I highly recommend them.  THIS IS YOUR WHOLE LIFE.  Who’s representing it for you? I will tell anyone that will listen you guys are thebright choice in defense. I would add, specifically, Taylon hand held me through some of the very emotional later parts of my legal ordeal. She heloed me stay positive when I was afraid and thinking if my family. I can't describe how much I needed that at the time. Thank You Taylon! I'll be sure to send pics of my daughter graduating!!

Exceeded Expectations

In my unique story I had a different attorney tell me that what I wanted to accomplish was not possible. Taylon proved that individual wrong. She met and exceeded the expectations I had for my case. She was a strong advocate for not only what I needed but what I truly desired. I’m very appreciative o...f her diligent work and the compassion she demonstrated throughout.

Great addition to Joe's masterful team

I recall at one court event I looked at Mrs. Sumners and made the bold statement "I wish the State would just dismiss my case. She could have responded, "I don't think that's gonna happen". And that would have been a dose of reality during that stage of the case. But she simply stated, If there i...s even the slightest window open for a dismissal or plea to a significantly reduced charge, Joe will capitalize on exactly that and make it happen. Six months later, my case was completely dismissed. Thank you Sara for adding professional and tenacity to the entire team.

Excellent and Professional

Taylon Sumners and Joe Passanise were quite the powerhouse! They were professional, strong, compassionate and wonderful to work with. They were able to take a really bad situation and fight until we had an outcome that was better than we could have hoped for. I would recommend Taylon and Joe with...out hesitation.
