I was told my case would be difficult but she was persistent and patient. I was given realistic expectations but they were very much exceeded. Cost was very reasonable and I never waited very long to hear back on any of my worries or questions.

Hired Lucy to represent me, and she helped walk me through all the proactive things I could do to help. She walked me through what to expect, and promptly answered any questions that I had. Ultimately she was able to quickly get my case dismissed and my record sealed. The whole process can be stressfull but Lucy did a great job at easing that stress by explaining what I should expect every step of the way.
