"I'm probably the only person who's had the unique experience of being cross-examined on the witness stand by Lydia (from a homicide case I investigated back when I was a police officer) and several years later working together on the same side with Lydia as a fellow criminal defense attorney. Therefore, when I make this endorsement, it's genuine. I respected Lydia when I was a cop and I respect her now as a fellow criminal defense attorney. In essence, she's the consummate professional. She treats her clients with compassion, understanding, and respect. She's always thoroughly prepared. She's extraordinarily helpful to other attorneys; she's always willing to give her time and assistance when necessary.
