I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all you have done for me. As you know, by the time I was referred to you, I was traumatized. Although I had succeeded in being granted a restraining order from my ex-boyfriend, no one had ever warned me that he could appeal the judgment. The appeals paperwork the courts wanted me to submit was intimidating and overwhelming. And on top of the stress of the domestic violence situation, it was just too much. Then you came into the picture. Your confidence and candor was exactly what I needed. Knowing I had someone in my corner was an enormous weight lifted off of my shoulders. Thank you for always keeping me informed. You gave me all sides, honestly, so that I could make informed decisions when they needed to be made. Everyone in your office that I came in contact with was both friendly and knowledgeable. When it came time for the paperwork, you took the time to answer any questions I had and listened when I had input, always respecting that you were defending my life/my story. And beyond the formalities of lawyer/client, I know your concern for my safety was a priority. I am very grateful to you for successfully defending the appeal of my Domestic Violence Restraining Order.
