About Joy
Biography
As a former police officer and special agent with the federal government, I offer the experience and knowledge that allows me to handle criminal cases, particularly police reports and procedures, a bit more in depth than the average attorney. I also offer payment plans for both criminal and family cases because I understand that many people are willing to pay reasonable legal fees but just don't have it all up front. Our firm allows clients to take care of their legal matters and their families at the same time. Call me today for your free consultation, and let us deal with your headaches!
