  Lots of return business. And Judges send dozens of people to them every week. Must be good. Dogs on site provide stress relief and entertainment.

  The defenders out of this office are top notch. I started with one amazing lawyer that left me highly confident then was handed off to an extraordinary lawyer. Mr. Monte Mertz. Very pleased with their credentials and services this far!

  Laura Reynolds handled my case in a professional and mannerly order. She was very detailed in her discussions with me and my case. Amy their paralegal was quick to file the appropriate paperwork for the expungement and I couldn't be more grateful for their help. I wish everyone who was involved the best. Sincerely, Rob

  Remember the article, trial lawyers don't have a track record of being very honest. The ethical violations and the toxic behavior in this agency that is going down on our tax dollars is absolutely despicable. We all studied ethics in political science and I am demanding that everybody in that office take a refresher course. Complaints have been sent to the disciplinary board.
