Could not have been more pleased

This recommendation and review is a over a year past due. I hired Donny and his partner Karen for my criminal assault case. I could have not been more pleased. They took the time to gather all the information from me, the police, doctors, and any other applicable sources to build a strong case. ... At no time in the process did they ever set an unrealistic expectations. Donny and Karen were always there for me and very responsive to any question I had. They carefully explained the risks and rewards of taking a plea deal vs. going to trial. When the time came to make a decision of whether we take a plea deal or go to trial, I felt confindent with they would represent me will in trial. And the did just that. They made sure the jury was not swayed by testimony or evidence the DA felt would win them they case. They used facts and presented a clear picture and timeline for my case. This resulted in a Not Guilty verdict. I will be forever pleased with the work they did for me.
