He actually pulled it off!

I called every attorney in town with my case [3 charges of Federal Felony: Bomb Hoax]. I had quotes ranging from 10k-44k to get a lawyer. I am just a college student, and a disabled veteran that had just lost a family member. I talked to Charles over the phone then met at his office for consultation.... He was clear that he could handle it before it even went to trial. I hired him for 5k, and he immediately started working on my case. He managed to keep me off the news, seal my files and keep me out of prison. I was facing 15 years in prison for the offenses, and since it was at federal level the conviction rates are very common in these cases. He was able to reduce it to a single offense from the 3 and my penalty was to pay my restitution and complete my probation. I do not regret choosing Charles Johnson because had I gone with anyone else I wouldn't be able to write this review today. The other lawyers told me that I should wait for trial and try to negotiate the sentence then... But Charles handled it immediately, yes, he came through on his promises.
