Externally grateful

I was accused of rape and I put myself in that situation. I went to a strip club and met a girl. We decided to exchange numbers and meet privately outside the club. Over lunch hour one weekday, after retriving some money from the bank to pay her, we went to a hotel and had sex. Dropped her off after ...and went back to work. A couple weeks later, while at a business conference with my wife, a very pissed off female detective called me and requested that I come back to town and to the police station. I could hear that I was in trouble and my heart dropped. Instead of doing what the detective requested I turned to the internet and looked for an attorney to represent me. I've seen enough dummies on 48 Hours to know that you don't go into a police station for questioning without an attorney. Anyway, while searching I came across 3 attorneys and called them all. I visited two of them. I loved the name of one of them the Innocence Legal Team or somethjbg like that and Liberty Law Group. I actually liked them both but there was a spirit about Liberty's website and her in person that I couldn't deny. I hired her immediately and Gena stopped the detective from calling me, set up the appointment and brought in another attorney with her to the station to speak with the detective on my behalf. A short time later my case was dropped completely. When she called to tell me this I just cried. Literally. Here I am with a wonderful wife, beautiful children and a career to die for. Being arrested for rape, going to trial for rape, being convicted of rape would have ruined me. And to think, Gena believed that I was innocent the entire time. At the same time, she was honest about the fact that I was wrong for even being in this situation. Let's just say I learned two lessons... 1. Do do things that can ruin your life and 2. When you are stupid enough to do so hire Gena her team at Liberty to help you learn the moral lesson and protect you from people who will take advantage of you and even attempt to ruin your life and the lives of those that you love the most.

A Dark Cloud Lifted

I had never had an encounter with the law until a young white college freshman from South Carolina falsely accused me of assaulting in NY. Barely anybody seemed to listen or believe me. I felt so devastated - until I spoke to Ms Gina Tennen. She recorded the FACTS, then skillfully and professiona...lly presented to the prosecutor. She is very intuitive to your legal needs, calmly communicates a strategic way forward. With time, the grossly exaggerated claims unravelled - just as Gina's proposed plan was in motion. Liberty Law Bell staff built a rapport with me, followed upon my numerous requests and kept me and my family informed throughout the entire process. In recognition of Gina T's preparation, persistence and personality, the false claims were dropped and the case against me was dismissed!! I strongly recommend Gina Tennen and network of legal consultants at Liberty Law!

Absolutely Amazing!

I am so grateful to Gina and her team of lawyers. She was able to get my case dismissed. She was very responsive and always kept me in the loop of what was going on with my case. I'm sure with any other attorney I would not have received the same results. Gina and her whole staff are great! They all ...truly cared about my situation and was always there for me. Thank You Liberty Bell Law Group, You guys are the best!!

She got my case dismissed and I am very happy to move on with my life!

I am so grateful to Gina and everyone at her firm for their work. They expressed genuine concern for me and my family and we're always there for us to lead us through the very difficult time. I really felt relieved by their communication as it gave us more confidence in what they were doing. I would ...recommend her to anyone. I called around before I hired them and they were more expensive but sometimes you get what you pay for and I needed the best attorney cause i had some pretty serious charges. I literally owe my life to them.
