The Public Defender who saved my bacon.

Nathan was my Public Defender for a DUI charge I was given. Being given a lawyer at random with something as serious as this charge made me really uneasy, esspecially after I've heard so many horror stories about Public Defenders being next to useless for the most part. As soon as I met Nathan he... immediately started explaining to me what was going on, what was going to happen and what I should do in response, knowing that I knew nothing of the process he took the time to explain it to me and answer my questions. (Huge win in my book.) Not only that but he knew what he was doing and he showed it, witch put me at ease about the whole thing. Secondly he was very timely, punctual and would call me exactly when he said he would, like clockwork. As I said briefly in the first point, he was extremely knowledgeable in the law and the process, simplified it for me and told me plainly what needed to be done. Nathan knocked my charge down to a low misdemeanor and instead of $4,000+ in fines and fees and such, I took one class and paid a $500 fine and was done. Only critique I would have is he didn't seem too eager to work on my case, like I wasn't the most important thing on his mind when he was counselling me but in his defense he had more cases then I could count in his hands and I didn't pay a dime for his awesome service. I would hire Nathan again in a heartbeat if needed which is hopefully never.
