If only all Lawyers were like him

Mr Armstrong was recommended by my Corporate Attorney to deal with a criminal vehicular charge (reckless driving and failure to stop) after I felt the earlier lawyer was not up to the mark and was interested in fighting the case to make a few more bucks. Mr Armstrong asked for all relevant facts to b...e given to him prior to the meeting. He read up the details thoroughly. At the first meeting, he walked through the charges in detail questioning every single aspect. Based on his experience, he recommended taking a plea for a lesser charge rather than fight it in court. His reasoning was that the unknown aspect was the ability of a DA to swing the jury's emotion against the defense. He recommended that I go back to the original lawyer and get him to work the plea. Amazingly, he did not charge me for over an hours worth of consultation even though his due diligence, insight, experience, and advise were worth far more than what I had paid the earlier lawyer. I ended up with community service and saved nearly five thousand dollars in legal fees. Thanks Mr Armstrong.
