Grateful!!

I don't known where to start. I just feel so grateful and blessed because I chose the right lawyer for my case. when I first met ms.ohan I was an absolute mess, an emotional one that is. I had gotten in trouble and sent to jail that almost led to a family violence misdemeanor. I had never gotten in t...rouble with the law so quite honestly I was terrified but ms.ohan put me at ease shortly after leaving her office and assured me she would do everything in her power to take care of the siutation.What I will tell you is, she is very upfront and doesn't BS at all which I really really appreciate. Throughout the entire seven months I was so numb, I didn't know what to really ask or say but she completely took over and needless to say my case was DISMISSED!! Best feeling in the world.Definitely learned my lesson. Thankyou so much ms.ohan!You were heaven sent, I have non doubt I was led to chose you by my angels.I Wish you the absolute best.

Awesome Lawyer!

I was arrested for a DWI. The week after I received tons of letters from lawyers, and hers stood out to me the most. She did and amazing job getting me the best deal possible. She's very, very thorough with everything. She was there every step of the way. Anytime I needed her she was just a call away.... I will always be thankful and grateful for her.

Life changed and beyond thankful - Case Dismissed

Words cannot begin to explain how thankful and pleased I am with Nancy and for all the hard work she put into getting my case dismissed. She truly was heaven sent! Never in million years could I have imagined that my DWI 2 case would run so smoothly and ultimately be thrown out. Nancy not only kno...ws the law, she’s passionate about it and truly cares for her client’s wellbeing. I recall my first meeting with her, she diligently listened and took note of everything I had to say without judging me. Because this was my second DWI, my first being nearly a decade ago, I felt so ashamed of the situation I had once again found myself in. Nancy genuinely expressed concern for me as a person. She went as far as asking me if I needed assistance in locating an AA or support group. She then made a pact with me, that she would do everything in her power to help me but that I also had to show her that I was willing to learn from this and make a change in my life. Upon retaining her she quickly began to gather details from the DA’s office and gave me constant updates which really went a long way in calming my nerves (I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown). When she received the video from DPD she called me in and we watched it together. Without going into detail, she almost immediately concluded that the officer had no justified reason for pulling me over. She suggested that we file a “Motion to Suppress” based on facts shown in the officer's car/body cam footage. This was in late August 2018. The months began to roll by and Nancy attended my court dates and would email or call me with updates almost immediately afterward (understandably sometimes a day later). At one point the interlock device in my vehicle failed due to battery issues and upon informing her of the potential problem it could cause with my pre-trail officer, Nancy was ready to spring into action. Fortunately, it wasn’t necessary, but once again knowing I had someone in my corner went a very long way. Finally, in January, Nancy informed me that she had met with the DA’s office and that they did not agree that the stop was unjustified. She again reassured me that she had a strong argument based on the facts seen in the video and would proceed with filing with motion. February - D-DAY Nancy was nothing less than incredible. She was confident, knowledgeable, and firm with her argument and although the arresting officer was present as a state witness, Nancy was completely unshaken (TOTAL BEAST MODE). After about 45 minutes the judge said the sweetest sounding two words I’ve ever heard “Motion sustained”. My case was pretty much dismissed. In the hallway, Nancy once again reminded me that this was a “Gift” and that she didn’t to ever see me in that situation again. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Nancy. May God Bless you always. Ps: I am now going on almost 7 months sober, thanks be to God, my family, friends, and Nancy’s push.
