Excellent Lawyer

I worked with DM Cantor, particularly, Courtney Sullivan in my case after my arrest for child abuse after a brief encounter with my then-14-year old son, who called the police. The DM Cantor team met with me within 2 hours of me contacting them, which was shortly after my overnight processing and... appearance before a judge at MCSO. Courtney worked diligently and developed a strategy including affidavits and analysis of all police materials, including bodycam footage. She prepared the case for trial, even though she led the effort to make sure my case didn't go to trial. Courtney and her team would contact prosecutors' offices, letting them know she's on the case and that she has exculpatory evidence. Felony charges, which were pending, were dropped by the county and eventually misdemeanor charges also weren't filed by the city. Further, she's now in the process of getting my records sealed per a new AZ law. Throughout the process, Courtney answered my myriad of questions and displayed empathy, showing that she really cared. Her assistant, Rose, was also fantastic and did her part to ensure as smooth a process as possible. What felt like despair became victory thanks to Courtney.
