Not only a great Attorney but also a truly great person

Amanda Moran truly stood out to us , when we were looking for a criminal defense attorney up in Fresno . She went beyond what I had expected and clearly is a great attorney as well as a really great person! Her response time in getting back to us was quick and made us feel comfortable in the awful s...ituation that was over 14 yrs old. She fought hard for me and now I can move forward with my life!

She fought for my freedom and words will never be enough to show how grateful I am Moran and her team!

If anyone is going through a really hard situation and you're fighting for your freedom I really recommend you to call Moran Law Firm. My Attorney Amanda Moran, her team, and their private investigator went above and beyond to make sure I continue to be a free man today, and fought for me to make s...ure I would be there for my family! I can never thank them enough, they fought for my freedom every step of the way. They were always available to answer any questions and explain everything to me in a way I could understand. They worked with my schedule and financial difficulties and gave me a very reasonable payment plan. I will always be grateful with all of them. Moran has a big heart and they genuinely care about their clients and their families. They treated my entire family with the upmost respect! I highly recommend Amanda moran and her team, trust me, they will fight for you because they truly care about helping people and not just making a profit. Do not hesitate to call them!

Words cannot explain the gratitude I have for Amanda Moran

August 6, 2018, is the moment my partner got his life back! Let’s back track 7 months, when I was just a chicken with my head cut off. My bf of 5 years had been accused of some horrific, god awful accusations and was put in jail. I, without doubt knew he wasn’t capable of doing such things, so I hire...d a lawyer . Let me tell you, this lawyer is like no other! Her compassion and her understanding just made me feel like , hey every thing is going to be all right . She fought for us with the best of her ability. Words can’t explain the gratitude that I have for Amanda Moran and her amazing team who were there for us every step up the way with their kindness , their compassion ,and their hard work. Thank you guys., a million times thank you! You guys brought our family back together.

Extremely satisfied!

It’s been about 3 months that my case was resolved and I’ve been waiting to find the right words to choose when it comes to speaking about Amanda Moran. After 3 months, I figured out there is nothing I can say to describe my true appreciation for Amanda! Amanda was amazing!!! She is a 100% fighter...! Amanda was right by my side through it all and made me feel comfortable and confident of her abilities; although, she may say I was extremely nervous! But who wouldn’t be! Being on defense side of the court system was an entirely new thing to me. That is where Amanda came in and made me feel that everything would be ok! We had an extremely “determined” district attorney (no names mentioned) who took everything very personal and just would not take no for an answer! Well let’s just say that through Amanda’s will and determination to win, she was able to finally shut this DA down (she actually stomped away in anger) and I was able to move on with my life! I am extremely happy to have chosen Mrs. Moran as my attorney! She is a true fighter and I do believe anyone would be happy and satisfied to have her on their side should you need these types of services. Thank you again Amanda! You were amazing!!!!
