Testimonials
Dear Curt and team, First and foremost, I would like to thank you for the wonderful service that you provided to me. I was at my lowest point in life when I walked into your office. When I called to make an appointment, whoever answered the phone was polite, very kind and made me feel that I had come to the right place for help. On the day of my first appointment, despite all the anxiety and uncertainty, I was well received and made to feel safe and welcome.
I have had dealings with Curt over the past year and have found him and his staff to be absolutely excellent. They are always sensitive to the clients’ needs and have been very successful with my case. thanks to Curt and his staff. I fully recommend them to everyone.
To anyone who is considering retaining Carys’s services. I highly recommend her. My son was charged with aggravated assault occasioning bodily harm. It was a ridiculous charge, to begin with. The previous lawyer my son had, wanted him to plead guilty. We shopped it around to a few lawyers and got the same answer, just plead guilty, you will only get a small fine.
I’m not sure if you can appreciate the peace you have given my family. Your professionalism, experience and work ethic were amazing. I will always speak highly of this “great defense lawyer I know“.
Thank you
