Posted by Leslie | April 13, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Excellent attorney, top notch firm!

I hired Ms. Zarka to handle my misdemeanor assault family violence case. She quickly got all the information necessary to secure a dismissal for me. Ms. Zarka and her entire staff worked hard to make sure I could keep my record clean. I hope I never need a criminal defense attorney again, but if I... do, I will call Ms. Zarka right away.
