“In the Fall of 2010, our lives were turned upside down with a knock on the door from a federal agent. Our son, just 18 years old, was arrested. With absolutely no idea what to do, David R. Jones was referred to us as someone who could help us navigate the judicial system. Not only did he chart the course, he steered our ship through rough storms, kept us steady and reassured, and eventually we landed on solid ground! DR provided the legal expertise we needed. But more importantly, for us, he became our rock. He was honest, confident, and dependable. We were so fortunate to have David and his team on our side!” – Barb
