WARNING - WORST EVER EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!

Lynne was conceited, rude, obnoxious, and wanted to drag my case out for up to 2 years after the judge had contacted her to schedule my case, which was a very simple case. So simple the state prosecutor and judge seemed to be in my favor before it even started. Her email salutation says "Godspeed",... although I did not experience a single moment that would lead me to believe she was Christian. If I asked questions, she would send me childish ranting emails that seemed to go on forever. She saved the best for last when she showed up late for my court hearing, disheveled, hair out of whack, looked like her makeup was done in a wind tunnel, in a very complimentary hoodie sweatshirt, completely unprepared. You could almost hear a collective gasp and snicker from the judge and prosecutor due to her tardiness and appearance. Was so glad when it was over! I have never in my life been treated so terribly by a service provider. BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Worst Ever

When dealing with criminal charges for the first time, the question is where do you turn. We turned to Lynne and regretted it. Whether it was that she would not listen to thoughts that we had, criticized questions asked, or downright accuse us of knowingly breaking the law, it was a different show ...for a different day. In the end, I was just glad for it to be over.

I won

Did a great job for me restoring my firearms rights after multiple felonies. Advised exactly what to do, I listened, and to my surprise it worked.
