very good attorney that I highly recomment

I have dealt with many lawyers in my small business. My family has never been involved with the police or crime before. My family was so upset when my adult son got charged for a stupid mistake. Family was so upset and we didn't know what to do. We had no idea where to start in getting my son a good ...lawyer. We got Attorney Martha Carlson's name from the friend of a friend. When me and my son first met Attorney Carlson honestly she looked so young we weren't sure what we should think. Only after a few minutes with her we were sure we were making the right decision in using Attorney Carlson as my sons attorney. She explained everything to us answered all our questions and never rushed us. When we got to court she got my son good bond conditions and he was able to keep working and raising his little girl. Attorney Carlson always let us know what was going on with the case. We got copies of all the paperwork and police reports and she took the time to explain absolutely everything. My son didn't want a trial and Attorney Carlson got us a good offer from the district attorney. My son didn't loose his license and didn't have to serve any time in jail. Attorney Carlson did a great job everytime we were in front of the judge. She come to court prepared and spoke well to the judge. My son and I were very happy with Attorney Carlson and would recommende her to everyone who needs a criminal attorney. Even though she looks young, she has much experience and you will see that the second you speak with her.
