kept me in the US
Richard did a great job on my case! A not guilty. As a DACA recipient I was looking at everything I've worked for going up in smoke if convicted.I had really hard demands due to my status but Richard never gave up and now I'm cleared and free to go forward with my life.

I had really screwed up and was thinking my life was over, but Richard kept saying to keep hope alive. After 8 months of going to court the DA gave in to Richard's d...
