Amazing lawyer who actually cares!!

When I fist met Nicholas Cressy, I could tell he truly cared. When I told him about my situation, I saw how it bothered him! I had met a few different lawyers and consulted with them and no one wanted to actually take it all the way to trial to prove I was innocent. Nick truly devotes himself ...to his clients, he told me that the very first day. In fact, you're not a client, Nick treats you like an actual human being that wanted to help! I had been wrongfully accused by a department store and was harassed and would not sign a confession the loss prevention officer was trying to do E me too! The loss prevention officer ended up calling the cops and charging me with shoplifting and the cops came and read my Maranda act rights in front of my kid! After that for over a year I went monthly to misdemeanor court where each time they just continued it ;continuance after continuance - over a year!!! My last trip to misdemeanor court would have been another continuance but Nick stood up for me- fought for me- he won me a trial which was all I needed and been asking for! A way to prove myself innocent. I wouldn't take the 894 or the divergent program or a "criminal mischief" charge that the public defenders and other lawyers had offered me. I was innocent , and thats what I needed to prove. It caused my life so much stress snd frustration! Nick's devotion and the way he cared finally made me feel like I was right to prove my innocence ! What a funny thing to state in "the land of the free"! I would have had to be punished for something I didn't do and my 13 year old daughter ??!! She was upset by this too! All of the frustrated feelings and confusion that came along with this, Nick was able to do exactly what I needed, he was able to say what I was too emotionally frustrated to say . He completelly understood and genuinely cared about my situation, I am so grateful for that. I feel like I can sleep like a log knowing this all over.
