Best Lawyer in California Bay Area in Criminal Defense

I was facing a harassment case. The complainant and her best friends, acting as her witnesses, had made up a scary story to destroy my life and reputation. When I first read the allegation, it was so well drafted by the complainant and her fake witnesses that I, myself, believed I might have done som...ething wrong. I was confused and had a lot of panic attacks. The next day, I visited my family doctor and I was referred to a psychiatrist. Being experienced by similar cases, the psychiatrist advised me to get a lawyer as soon as possible. I searched the internet and was lucky enough to find Mr. Dean Johnson. He was prompt in answering my call, asking me a few to-the-point questions and giving me an appointment to meet with him in his office. He asked me to prepare documents for him regarding what had actually happened and all correspondences from the investigators and the complainant. When I met Dean in his office, I realized that Dean has already read all information carefully and knew my case as I knew it. Every time that Dean and I met with the investigators upon their requests, Dean showed them that he knows more about the case and regulations than they know and that they are wrong on many facts. As complainant and investigators tried to bring more made-up data to my case, Dean proved them being wrong again. I didn't have to remind Dean of any meeting schedule or review with him the case. He knew all the case details better than I knew them and he was always present at meetings even before I enter the meetings. Dean was a great lawyer and a caring friend by my side. The case was dropped against me after one year of exhaustive investigation. Hail to Dean for being there for me and making sure the justice is properly served.
