Helping me get my life back
“When I was arrested twice by police, (once while at work, once while going to the gym), I was thrown in jail, I was angry, I lost my job, and I was not sure what would happen with several serious charges pending against me in both cases. Attorney David Jones was clearly knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with serious matters, court proceedings and charges. I chose him, out of several Attorneys to represent me in both arrests. It was the right thing to do. The charges against me were all dropped. I was able to negotiate a deal for minor traffic violations, instead of serious offenses, with community service. It was not easy, but Attorney David Jones did not give up. We were successful in restoring my ability to get a job, and regain my rights that were taken away by the Police. I would like to thank David for helping me get my life back.” – Steve
