Excellent, efficient, and caring

I really appreciated Sheena's attention and expertise with my legal issue. I found her very responsive and caring, and felt like I was well taken care of with a situation that I was very worried about. My whole situation is now resolved, and I had the best possible outcome, thanks to Sheena and her t...eam!

RN got a citation!!

I am a registered nurse and made a huge mistake last summer and got a DUI. I hired her and Lucy into my case, they gave me a list of tasks to complete and I thoroughly completed them and received a citation from the BRN with a BAC of 0.18% which is EXTREMELY rare. Throughout the process, Sheena was ...available to help answer any questions I had. When I was applying for jobs after the DUI and had to disclose it, she even helped me write a statement regarding the hit on my background check and reassured me every step of the way. She even called me after finding out about the citation to congratulate me again and let me know to call her when I have to renew my license to give a statement regarding the question that makes me disclose that I got a conviction since my last renewal, so that I don’t have to go through all of this again. I cannot recommend her enough. She helped save my career. Thank you Sheena.

Excellent profesional Law firm!

I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case. Lucy McAllister and her awesome team of lawyers perfectly handled my case and were very thorough and appraoched every step of the way well planned and thought out. Highly recommend. I do want to minus one star due to lack of transparency with financia...l cost. The case was ball parked 5k and ended up paying closer to 10K. So just be prepared for that.

Registered Nurse

I had the fortunate opportunity to work with Mrs. McAllister and her assistant Sheena Tran as their legal services helped me with my case. Sheena always informed me of updated information and any questions I had, she would answer via email and phone call, and made sure I knew everything I needed ...to know. Mrs. McAllister is a superb attorney, and am grateful I got to work with her on my case. I would not want to have worked with any other attorney and legal team. That is how great they are to me. I do hope you find this positive review about Lucy, Sheena, and their legal team beneficial.
