This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Unprofessional

I hired this attorney and had to continue to reach out for updates during the pre-trial conditions. I had to reach out to see when court dates were, I never saw her until the day of my court case. I never prepped with her. I had to reach out to even ask why the case was taking 2 years to even get a c...ourt date. She rarely returned calls. I spoke with her about the entire case the day I had to appear in court (1 yr after hiring her). I had a probation violation and text and called her several times with no response. Very unprofessional. Didn’t really help but on took my money.

Honest and hospitable

I met her last minute and was able to accomplish more than my previous attorney who had been working my case for months. She was easy to communicate with and she was patient with me. When I was stressed or discouraged she reassured me she was fighting for my rights and she understood what I was going... through and showed compassion. She is a great attorney. I thank God I met her.

Superb 10/10

I was referred to this company and Asante specifically by one of my closest friends and I quickly grasped that it was one of the best and most responsible decisions I could have made regarding both my case and mental peace. From quick responses to excellent results, I have been nothing but expressiv...ely impressed by the capabilities of Asante and the company. I've had an excellent day, getting two charges dropped, one a felony and the other a class A misd. With full confidence can I, and will I, recommend this company to my friends and peers alike. Good looks, I mean it

Very Dedicated, And extremely awesome!!

I first met Ms.Asante when she was a public defender and she represented me. She got that case dismissed. So when I faced a felony charge (s) with no hope and extremely scared of the outcome.. I researched her and found she had her on firm. I am a mother of 4 children and I definitely face the strug...gles of life, But Ms. Asante she’s CARES , really cares.. Overall I was facing 2 felony charges. Not only when I initially got arrested she got my bond reduce so it was possible for me to get out and come home to my family, She got one charge no bill, and the other felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor.. She is amazing at what she do and extremely kind. Always professional… Thank you Ms.Asante..
