Posted by anonymous | June 15, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Sex Crime

Excellent Representation

Troy represented our son who was falsely accused of a sex crime in a small town. He and his firm was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He and Matthew Stonestreet were always accessible and were well prepared when the case came to trial. They earned their money. Best decision we could have mad...e. They made sure that justice prevailed. I am so glad we hired them.

Incredibly diligent

Troy is very knowledgeable about the process you go through in the court system. He never gets ahead of himself and helps you do the same by explaining step-by-step what to expect while being confident and reassuring. We faced barriers at almost every turn in complicated cases that were in multiple c...ourts but overcame them all. His office as a whole knows the criminal defense system very well in it's entirety. I know that Troy and his office were the difference between freedom or incarceration.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
