Review

Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm is staffed with highly experienced and competent attorneys who took my individual situation seriously. The attorney assigned to shepherd my case through the legal system was Emma Whincup, Esq.. Her knowledge, skills, and expertise, were fundamental in representing my ...case which concluded with a positive outcome. I highly recommend Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm and Emma Whincup.

Fantastic Law Firm

The entire team at Attorneys For Freedom are amazing! After failing to live up to my responsibilities with the court I contacted Attorneys For Freedom for an initial consultation to see what options they thought I might have; I had several other consults lined up with other firms prior to and after ...meeting with Andy at Attorneys For Freedom. I did not take any consults after our conversation. Andy took the time during my consultation to explain several different avenues that were open to me. He broke down the benefits and potential downsides of each option and then helped me create a detailed path to resolve all my legal troubles. Based on Andy's expert opinion I followed his suggestions and prepared for my court date. When the day came for court I was nervous that the worse case scenario might come to fruition; Andy was not worried. When the judge entered the court I got the feeling that just having Andy and his team by my side made all the difference. Andy present my unique case and filed the paperwork with the court to get the result he thought would happen. I walked out of court with no fear, my case had been resolved completely and instead of being taken into custody I was at home with my family less than an hour later. The best part about this Firm is not only their knowledge of the law, which is superb, but their compassion and understanding that not all people in criminal court are "criminals". I made a mistake, I owned it at the time and I still do today, but at no point was I made to feel "less than" because of what I had done. Instead, I was made to feel validated and supported by team of hard working professionals who wanted the best for me. If you find yourself in a situation where legal help is needed, first, hire a lawyer! Even if you take responsibility for your actions having an attorney with you will make the process much easier and possibly reduce the punishment. Second, hire Attorneys For Freedom! This organization will make sure your best interests are the focus and will work diligently to achieve those interests.

AMAZING

I wasn’t facing any criminal charges or a car wreck. This was by far the hardest battle of my life and knew I needed help. I met with Jody and she was kind and calm and reassuring. She immediately saw the injustice that had happened,and I could sense that she was sincere in wanting to help me seek j...ustice. I left that office after the appt. and truly felt like I wasn’t having to fight this battle alone and it brought me to tears knowing that I had an amazing strong army with me. This was a very long battle but I was never forgotten Jody and Alex made sure I understood everything and Alex is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and so kind...... this is there career but they spoke to me with not just caring about the case they cared that I was emotionally okay with everything that was happening. This is not anything they had to do but they did and for that I cannot say enough Thank Yous.... I strongly suggest to anyone that is battling something legally to hire this firm!!!!!!!! You will have the BEST team!!!!! They return calls and emails promptly even thou they are extremely busy you will always be there priority... Jody and Alex I will FOREVER be grateful for EVERYTHING.... My healing has started thanks to the hard work of this firm. I will FOREVER be grateful for this firm and for Jody and Alex.!!!!!

Marc Victor and his team are excellent attorneys

I retained Marc's services for criminal defense. He and his partners were very professional, and always quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns. They could be counted on to keep me apprised of any news or updates in the course of the case. Ultimately, with some very creative "out of the ...box" tactics Marc's team were able to negotiate an excellent resolution to my situation. It's clear that they always have their clients' best interests in mind, and they are using their many years' experience to ensure your rights are respected and you get the most favorable outcome possible. I never felt judged or looked down upon, either, which was a welcome bonus. I would say that whenever you're being accused of a crime you want a team of attorneys who 1) know the law really well, 2) have extensive experience working in the system, and 3) see the state as the defendant's enemy, and not actually interested in "justice". Marc and his team clearly meet all these criteria, and see it as their duty to ensure you can have as fair a fight against that enemy as possible.
