Replied last December 29, 2010THank you Norm for trusting my instincts to "fight" the case post prelim. The issues presented were tough, but once past prelim, i knew they would work out.

DUI lawyer
I had her for an under age DUI, and she was able to drop the case to a much softer charge. Best thing about her, she is always available for her clients, even after your case is closed. The price is reasonable considering the professional service that you get.
