5.0 out of 5 stars

I want to tell anybody who needs a lawyer and whether you've been in trouble before or not I have never met a person that cares more and listens to everything you have to say then Samara Ballard. And for those of us that have been in trouble she just recently got me out of a situation that could have turned into possibly probation or time so even if you don't have tons of money I recommend that you at least talk to someone like this and try to work out something financially because sadly said a public defender could cost you more money in the long run or even time and this comes from my heart because this person has done nothing but sit there and listen to me and made a big difference in my life
