My Experience as a Client with Ms. Autry

I am not prone to hyperbole, but the defense, working behind the scenes with prosecutors, judge, and research into legal precedent and relevant law cases resulted,I my case, in a outcome unimaginable by me going into the process. Simply put, I believe Ms Autry to be the best criminal defense attorne...y I could have ever have hired. I went into a very bad legal situation, having just having been tried and convicted of a serious charge handled by another attorney. I was the faced with going again before the same judge who had sentenced me with a DUI Drugs on top of that. I retained ms. Autry and from day one, she kept me informed on every option, strategy (she was pursuing), her research into the case, our options, etc. Anytime I called her office, she always managed to find time to immediately address my question(s), which I found remarkable. Very quickly, she found weaknesses in the state's case, which gave us fantastic leverage for getting a reduced guilty plea which basically changed the entire trajectory of my life; whereas before I was about to become a permanent victim of the whirlpool of the system, Jessica's diligent defense resulted in a negotiated plea which likely saved my life (I had prior seriously been considering suicide); now, however, I have a clear trajectory which, though tough,IS doable. I write this in gratitude to Ms Autry, because without her incredible diligence, legal knowledge, positive input, and strategy both prior to and in court, I might not be here today. I can not recommend her highly enough; her defense saved my life, and possibly my family. I am sure her trajectory in the legal profession will remain stellar!
