Posted by Nicholas | May 02, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

He is the Man

I was charged with possession of schedule I convicted felon w/a firearm domestic battery and two driving under suspension tickets. He got the possession dropped to 1 yr hard labor as a two time felon I already had 7.5 months served and was given credit for time served. The firearm charge was dismisse...d after a 4 yr battle. Got 2 yr mis. Probation for the domestic and credit for time served for the tickets. That was every charge I had in New Liberia. I have been fighting these charges since 2012. And he has reasonable prices with good work.
