Why Clients Trust Vindicate Law
I was charged with a felony that could have put me in jail for 7 years and completely destroyed my life. I was lucky enough to find Carrie who understood the situation and negotiated my case to a misdemeanor with no jail time. Being charged with a serious crime is no easy thing to say the least, but if Carrie is your lawyer, you are in good hands.
Absolutely great at his job Connor was always returning my phone calls, and emails quickly. He gathered all evidence and went through it very thoroughly. His hard work and expertise got me a dismissal. I hope I’ll never need his services again but I assure you if I do, he will be my first phone call. Thank you Connor
Excellent firm all the way around. Prompt communication at all times. From admin, to paralegal, to attorney support, everyone was very organized, professional, and timely. My attorney was exceptional and was able to get my case dismissed before even going to trial. Highly recommend!
