FELONY FRAUD CONVICTION EXPUNGED

Attorney Huffman and his law firm is excellent in getting my felony conviction expunged. They are very responsive when you email them, excellent in fact. My only complaint was in regard to information I sent to Mr. Huffman's firm, I believe it was one of his assistants wanted to charge me an addition...al $50 to convert my information that I sent into PDF. When I complained to Mr. Huffman, he quickly settled the matter and I was not charged the additional $50. I highly recommend Mr. Huffman and his firm, I am very very satisfied with his service.

Thank You!

Fresh Start Law Center could not have made it easier to take care of this issue for me. I called and had a brief phone conversation and they took care of everything from there. Next thing I know I have an email saying it's all done and the paperwork to prove it. David was thorough and very profession...al. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone in need of their services. Thank you Fresh Start Law Center!

Bright, industrious, self﷓disciplined, and diligent attorney with a strong analytical mind and superior communication skills.

I consulted with Mr. Huffman in the capacity of a partner on cases. Mr. Huffman qualifies as a very intelligent attorney. First, Mr. Huffman possesses strong logical and analytical reasoning skills, including proficiency in dealing with abstract and complex concepts due to his keen problem-solving ...abilities that allow him to isolate the important details of such concepts to attain the desired results. Second, Mr. Huffman is very adept at learning and retaining information, including information of a complicated nature. Third, Mr. Huffman’s creative nature allows him to not only quickly anticipate and identify important and new legal concepts, but to synthesize and assess their implications, which will be beneficial in addressing his clients’ needs. Finally, Mr. Huffman possesses superior research and communication skills and the capacity for independent work, including the ability to establish clear priorities, which make it possible for him to effectively perform his responsibilities with autonomy. These attributes are invaluable in preparing Mr. Huffman for advancement in his legal career.

Thorough and excellent service and outcome!

Mr. Huffman handled cleaning up my record by successfully completing a felony reduction to a misdemeanor. His method is very complete and the answers to the series of questions used to give him a true understanding of my complete background, original transgression, and current personal situation als...o provided a perfect guideline that assisted in writing a personal letter to the judge. I'm very pleased with his service.
