Ms. Eytan was recommended as the top mental health criminal defense lawyer in the country. Immediately, her honesty & kindness became evident when she told me: "You can't afford me, but I will tell you exactly what you must do!" ....And I did! Thanks to Ms. Eytan, my son was ruled NGRI and is flourishing under treatment. Iris is an unbelievable human being with a huge heart.
