Testimonials

I was wrongfully convicted when I was a teenager. When Megan started on my case 6 years ago, it was the first time I felt an attorney really believed in me and fought for me. When Megan & Arianna represented me at my evidentiary hearing, it was the first time in 32 years I felt comfortable & confident during my court proceedings. They put me & my family at ease with their preparation & determination to see me to my release. I am so fortunate & grateful to have them in fighting for me. I wouldn't want nor ask for anyone else.
