Hired Attorney 2020Amy Menzel made my legal problems disappear! Before I hired Ms. Menzel, I was facing multiple charges/citations and fines related to property damage, intoxication, and disorderly conduct. Ms. Menzel was able to negotiate with the DA and I only had to pay a fine and property damages. No charges, no community service, no court appearances, nothing on my record, and I didn't even get a ticket. Ms. Menzel and her staff were extremely professional, and dealt with my problem quickly and discretely. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a defense attorney. The service provided was excellent, and I am very satisfied with the outcome.
