She took the time to educate me on the law and thoroughly went over my options. She worked hard on my case and got me off. Well worth the money I spent.

Working with Tamara was easy and painless. She took care of everything, perfectly and professionally. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney. Once I got her involved, I didn't step foot in a courtroom.
