How Can We Help?
"*" indicates required fields
I especially want to thank Joey Hamby, who took the lead on my case. Joey was sharp, down-to-earth, and always made sure I understood what was going on. He gave me real peace of mind during a stressful time, and I always felt like I was in good hands.
I also want to thank Tory Stewart for her work behind the scenes—her support made a real difference and didn’t go unnoticed.
If you’re ever in a situation where you need strong legal support from people who care, I can’t recommend the Attorneys for Freedom team enough. They really live up to their name.
Thank You Lia.
