Paul Lavalle
Replied last July 03, 2014This is a very unfortunate situation with a disgruntled client totally misrepresenting what occurred. She received an excellent result and is merely trying to avoid paying for the services she received. Regrettably, this happens sometimes when representing persons with multiple theft cases.

Smartest lawyer I Ever Met
I was charged with a serious drug crime with considerable evidence in the State's file. Mr. LaValle not only got my felony dismissed, but also successfully expunged my criminal record. I can now legally say I was never arrested which has helped me greatly in both my personal and professional life.
