exceptional

Exceptional would probably be an understatement! Having never had to deal with an assault case before and allowing a public defender to take my case had me a bit apprehensive. I was always lead to believe that PD don’t fight as hard because the clients aren’t being charged for their service. Ms. Asan...te changed my entire perspective. She reviewed everything about my case front to back and used her knowledge of the law to determine my best option. For majority of the process I was a nervous wreck but she took time out to calm me and answer any question i had even if i had asked them a thousand times prior. After her argument i had no fear that my case would be dismissed and it definitely was. She kept me updated every step of the way and she’s went above and beyond for me. Although i never plan on having to use her services any more because my plan is to stay trouble free! However i will definitely recommend her to anyone! She’s is beyond amazing and i appreciate her far more than she’ll ever know !
