5.0 out of 5 stars

I want to take a few moments to praise Valerie Wright for her skilled professionalism and excellence as a defense attorney. Early this year I found myself in a very bizarre, unexpected, unwarranted situation. Even though I had truth on my side it became clear that may not be enough so I wanted to have the best attorney deliver the facts to a judge. It was a scary situation that I did not deserve to be in! I found Valerie and her team to be incredibly thorough, efficient and effective. She analyzed the facts and put together ALL of the pieces of the puzzle. When I asked her assistant in jest if Valerie was the best, basically she implied ?you have no idea!? Wow, she was right! I had no idea, and when it went to trial I am forever thankful that I hired Valerie. You could not find a better protector in the court room. She is eloquent and dignified in her technique, approach and delivery. It was like watching a master Samurai wield the sharpest sword with crisp precision. A truly skilled professional! The truth was defended and we were victorious. Valerie passionately cares about defending the innocent and she is certainly someone you want on your side if you ever find yourself in the trenches. She cuts through the ambiguity and cloudiness that false claims and deceit cast upon truth then delivers light and clarity when the day seems so dark and gloomy! Valerie is one of my heroes in life and I can?t praise her enough!
