Posted by Elizabeth | February 26, 2015 | Criminal Defense

Saved my child's future

My son was asked by someone he thought was a friend to drive him somewhere. The friend picked up other friends that pulled a gun on my son and made him drive to commit a crime. When the police stopped them, my son pulled over and the others ran. The police refused to listen to his explanation and he ...was charged with the crime. Ms. Fisher fought long and hard to find the others and present evidence that cleared my son of wrong doing. It took over a year, but she did not take the easy way out and plea down the charges, charges that would have followed my son throughout his life. She is well respected by those in the court system and has integrity. She is tough and she doesn't back down. My son has a good job and has a future thanks to Ms. Fisher's help. Without her, his ability to get a good job would have been limited. I can't thank her enough.
