Recently, due to certain circumstances with my son, my family had the need to reach out for legal... advice. After meeting with Marc and Brittany, we decided it would be in my son’s best interest to retain legal counsel. Our decision to go with Attorneys for Freedom was the absolute best choice we could have made for my son, as I do not understand the complexity of the law and was not going to “chance” anything when it comes to my son.When there is a situation that is happening and you do not fully understand all the “ins and outs” and possible consequences, it is awesome to have people who take the time, do not make you feel rushed, work diligently on your case, and explain everything to you step-by-step. Attorneys For Freedom, in particular Brittany and Laura are positively the best! I genuinely appreciate everything they did while working on my son’s case.When the time finally came and understanding that I could not stand up beside my son, having Brittany by his side, I had no concerns and felt beyond confident that he was in great hands with her.Brittany and Laura both were amazing! Their communications, making sure that we had what we needed, understood our choices, knew our options and thoroughly went over every aspect of my son’s situation was monumental.Brittany Huttner, Laura, Marc, and the entire staff at Attorneys for Freedom are truly assets to have on your team! If you ever happen to have the need, TRUST that Attorneys for Freedom are the ones you want!Thank you!!!1000% Recommended!!!read more
