There are few times in one’s life where making the right call in a hairsbreadth of time matters more than when your wounded husband is being unjustly held by a gamed system. I found the Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm , headed by Marc Victor, online after speed reading through reviews on firm after firm, desperate to find someone who could cut through the smoke and mirrors of a versed and connected other party in what was similar to a small town judicial system that was disinclined to show merciful human compassion while refusing to acknowledge key factors in our case. From the outset Jill Uuehara , her boss Marc Victor, and every member of the efficient and well-oiled machine that is the Attorney’s for Freedom Firm executed the tasks that needed to be done , compiled the paperwork they needed to be in place, contacted relevant parties and were ready within 24 hours to effectively represent my husband. Within minutes of being on the phone with their paralegals on staff who took my information down I knew I had made the right choice. I had reached their Arizona office she immediately took down detailed notes and contacted the Hawaii office which was about to close. I was contacted that night by Ms Uehara. She immediately saw the gravity of my husband's plight And clearly understood the time sensitive nature of the situation and need for my husband’s release, Her firm was knowledgeable of the dynamics of the courthouse that we were dealing with even before we had to explain them. Their incredible acumen, efficiency, communication, and understanding of the court system, the judges, and the players involved made me feel as if they were defending a family member with their willingness and resolve to right this injustice, gain his freedom, and to assist him in getting home where he could receive treatment One of the things that drew me to their firm was that it was not only a criminal defense attorney firm, but also it was a civil rights firm and a personal injury firm both of which are relevant in the case involving my husband. There was something very comforting to me in knowing that their focus was competent representation with a core company value system firmly built on respect for civil rights and human dignity. You will never be in better hands. You will never spend your money on a better bet. Hire this firm. You will not be sorry. And if you are lucky, Ms. Uehara will be your lead counsel. From the bottom of my grateful and humbled heart, thank you Attorneys for Freedom. You are what is good in the world.
