My experience with Herschel was nothing less than comforting and met all of my legal needs. I was in crisis mode and in a need of a very good lawyer last minute. Herschel dealt with me for weeks with questions, texting and calling him and he responded within minutes which is very helpful and reassuring when dealing with something this important. He worked my case and got me the best outcome I could’ve gotten based on the charges I was faced with. He also was willing to travel six hours for just one court date in order to represent me and that goes to show how above and beyond Herschel is willing to go for his clients. He makes you feel like family and really shows that he will fight for you.
