Peace of mind after of 14 years

I consulted with Amanda regarding sealing of my records for something that I had so foolishly done 17 years ago. I felt comfortable talking to her and explaining the need for my visit. Although I received a Honorably Discharge Order three (3) years later, I realized that those records were acces...sible to potential employers and anyone who was willing to pay to get information about me. Amanda was always in constant communication with me and her responses were immediate. She did not waste any time on my case. Within three (3) months, Order To Seal Records was received, signed by the Courts. Thanks to Amanda, my future looks a lot more promising in regards to my job searches.

Saved me a lot of stress!! THANK YOU, AMANDA!

Earlier this year I found out that I have had a warrant for the past almost 9 years. I went through LVDG to get it handled and they were absolutely awesome!! My attorney, Amanda, was excellent. Unfortunately due to circumstances I was unable to fulfill all the requirements by the due date, but Ama...nda was able to get me an extension! I was so relieved! I can't tell you how stressed out I was when I contacted her to let her know that I could not complete what was needed, and what was going to happen to me. She didn't make me feel like it was the end of the world. She really breathed that sigh of relief into me. Amanda assured me that she would take everything and... she did!!! I didn't have to worry about court appearances or paperwork. She handled everything. Thank you, Amanda!!!
