From the very first phone call, Anthony Bushnell was down to earth, and was very thorough and spent the time with me without looking for a credit card or a big retainer on the first call. He is very honest. He is very kind. He explained my situation and what I will go through perfectly. He made my mistake of drinking and driving not a light thing, but managed to keep my fees very fair, and my outcome very reasonable. He is every bit as good as some big time firm. In fact, HE IS YOUR ATTORNEY! Not a fresh out of law school person that may show up at your initial meeting and court case. (Big firms don't always tell you this.) Bottom line...If you want a genuinely ethical, nice, and honest person (rare nowadays), that happens to be a great attorney (even more rare), who helped me and can help you, call him now. Honestly, save the time online and just call him. I'm not paid to do this review. Unfortunately I'm picky and went through several initial interviews before I found him. He simply is the best all around attorney.
Anthony worked with our family during some issues with our son (DWI) and he brought tremendous peace and representation as we went through the process. His wisdom of the law, the legal system, along with his relationships in the court system and prosecutors proved to be invaluable. He always followed up with the time was right, and gave fair and unbiased feedback about any issue. He's not a "say anything to get off.." sort of lawyer - which we really valued, nor can you get away with in today's world. Anthony is compassionate about your situation and truly becomes your advocate during your case. While I hope we never have to work with him in the future, he's the first person we'll call when/if any needs arise. He's a rare find.
I hired Anthony to represent me in traffic case. After a few weeks, the case was dropped, unbeknownst to Anthony. I told him what happened and asked if he had anything to do with the charges being dropped. He honestly replied he had nothing to do with it, congratulated me, and promptly sent my total down payment back. Top notch character. Thank you.
