my expungement

I found Fresh Start Law Center by google'ing for an expungement company. I'm glad I chose this law firm to work on my expungement. The company I'm working for is doing a background employee check so I really need it to get done quickly. My case is a light offense but I don't want it in my record. It ...took one month and four days from the day it was submitted for my hearing to be scheduled and expungement to be granted. The chief attorney, Mr. David Huffman told me that I don't need to appear in court but I went to the court to verify I have a hearing on the date he gave me and there was =). I only dealt with Mr. David Huffman throughout the process and he's always there to answer my questions. I like that his responses are quick and in most instances, it's like we're messaging but we were actually using email. The price is comparable to the others I found online. After my expungement, Mr. Huffman also gave me pointers on what to expect after expungement. My case is in Placer county California. I'm writing this review because I believe Mr. David Huffman can help more people like me who once made a little mistake with the law and want it corrected and move on.

Great law frim!

Mr. Huffman got my felony reduced and expunged very quickly and was very attentive and responsive to my needs and questions. The pricing was very fair. I am more than satisfied with his work and I am glad I trusted his firm.

I needed an expungement on a wet reckless

I needed an expungement from a wet reckless case that was almost 4yrs old. I looked all over the internet for this type of service and I eventually selected Fresh Start Law Center. Trust me if you need an expungement that is simple and to the point this is the place that will get it done. ... Attorney David Huffman was very helpful in every step and provided me with prompt replies to all my questions. By the time i got my Expungement i couldn’t believe how FAST AND SIMPLE it was. The only regret i have is not using Fresh Start Law Center Sooner. If you are looking for an expungement do not hesitate or wait like i did. Attorney David Huffman will help you!
