While working at the DA's office, I would often have cases that Ms. Hightower was representing accused clients. She was diligent in working for the best results for her clients. I see this same professionalism when I see her working family law cases, CPS cases, and other civil and criminal cases. When she is opposing counsel, I know she will be prepared and honest. I endorse her for her work ethic and her knowledge of the law.
