    I worked with Elizabeth Franklin-Best P.C. on post-conviction and reentry-related issues while I was in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. When my name change request and halfway house request were denied, the firm pursued reconsideration and ultimately secured approvals. I appreciated the steady communication and the way the team treated my situation with seriousness and respect. I would recommend the firm to someone seeking thoughtful, persistent advocacy in a difficult situation.

    Thank you for sharing your experience. Federal Bureau of Prisons administrative matters—including name change requests and halfway house placements—can be frustrating when initial decisions don’t go your way. We’re glad we were able to pursue reconsideration and ultimately secure the approvals you deserved. Post-conviction advocacy requires persistence and attention to detail, and we appreciate that you recognized those qualities in our team. Reentry is challenging enough without having to fight administrative battles alone. We’re honored to have supported you through that process with the seriousness and respect every client deserves. We wish you continued success as you move forward.

    Elizabeth Franklin-Best P.C. supported me throughout reentry and supervised release with a combination of legal knowledge and practical guidance. The firm helped me understand probation procedures and conditions, worked through family-related concerns, and provided resources that supported my transition back into the community and employment. I appreciated the consistent communication and the respectful way the team handled sensitive issues. I would recommend the firm to someone who needs federal prison or supervised release guidance.

    Thank you for your kind words. Navigating supervised release involves more than just understanding the legal conditions—it requires practical guidance on employment, family matters, and the day-to-day challenges of reentry. We’re glad our team could provide both the legal knowledge and the real-world resources you needed during your transition. Federal probation procedures can feel overwhelming, especially when sensitive personal issues are involved. We appreciate your trust in allowing us to help you work through those concerns. Consistent communication and a respectful approach are central to how we practice, and it’s gratifying to hear that came through in your experience. Best wishes as you continue building your path forward.

    I worked with Elizabeth Franklin-Best P.C. on a supervised release issue and was impressed by how quickly the team stepped in. The firm was proactive, communicated clearly, and coordinated with federal agencies so I didn’t have to navigate everything on my own. I appreciated the practical advice and the straightforward explanations. The matter was resolved quickly, and the process felt organized and respectful from start to finish. I would recommend the firm to someone dealing with a federal supervised release or post-conviction issue.

    Thank you for the review. When a supervised release issue arises, time matters—and so does having someone who can coordinate effectively with federal agencies on your behalf. We’re pleased that our team was able to step in quickly and achieve a prompt resolution. Clear communication and organized case management are priorities for our firm, particularly in post-conviction matters, where clients have already endured enough uncertainty. We’re glad the process felt straightforward and respectful to you. Thank you for recommending Elizabeth Franklin-Best, P.C., to others facing federal supervised release or post-conviction challenges.

    I worked with Elizabeth Franklin-Best P.C. on several post-conviction matters, including record correction and passport attestation, and I appreciated how practical and organized the process was. Their federal criminal defense team communicated clearly, offered realistic strategies, and understood the day-to-day barriers that come up during reentry, including housing and employment issues. I felt respected and supported throughout. I would recommend the firm to anyone needing post-conviction advocacy.

    Thank you for your kind review. Post-conviction matters, such as record correction and passport attestation, may seem administrative, but they have real consequences for housing, employment, and everyday life after a federal case. We’re glad our team could offer practical strategies and clear communication while helping you navigate those barriers. Reentry advocacy requires understanding not just the legal system, but the obstacles clients face in rebuilding their lives. We appreciate that you felt respected and supported throughout the process—that’s precisely the experience we strive to provide. We wish you all the best moving forward.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
