A Miracle Worker

Melanie Roe is a Top Notch attorney I just got thru with a 4 and a half year long case. They were trying to find me guilty on three violent felonies which if found guilty I would have been spending the rest of my life in prison. I got charged with a sales case years later while fighting this violent case. The DA tried to do everything he could to keep me in custody they gave me a no bail at first. We went back to court in front of the judge to get the hold lifted. The Da argued not to let me out to the judge but when Mrs.Roe was given her chance to speak to the judge on my behalf she was AMAZING!!! It’s like she was a Tiger in the court room that day so focused so fierce and so very professional. She was on point with everything she stated. After the hour long battle between Mrs.Roe and the DA the judge granted my hold be lifted, Mrs.Roe won the battle I was out that night at home with my family. So now I got a sales charge and the 3 violent felonies. Mrs.Roe met with me to discuss the case whenever I felt like I needed to talk to her she was always there for me I never had 1 bad feeling about Mrs.Roe it was actually quite comforting to know that I had her in my corner, her being so good at what she does and so knowledgeable with the way the law works made me feel at ease. So now they were trying to give 25 to life on the one case and 7 years on the sales case. Mrs.Roe went the extra mile every time in that court room and so when it came to judgement day and we were ready to go to trial the DA came to us with a deal they knew i could not turn down. My personal opinion is they knew they were up against the best damn attorney this Desert has to offer “Mrs.Roe” and they knew getting in the ring with this Tiger was a lose lose situation for them so of course the only hope that had left was to give me a deal i couldn’t refuse so me being me i took the deal. I turn myself in here shortly and I’ll be home in a year COUNTY TIME so that leaves me eligible for a federal kick. I could not be more happier with the way it all turned out i highly recommend Mrs.Roe. she’s a fighter, she’s professional, she is so knowledgeable, she’s caring and understanding, she goes the extra mile and she’s the best damn attorney I have ever dealt with. etc. etc. I could keep going on and on. I can finally breathe again and get on with my life it felt like my life was in a stand still for over 4 years. I finally feel so relieved if i didn’t have Mrs.Roe I’d probably be doing the rest of my life in prison but bcuz of her expertise in criminal law I’m a free man and able to be out in the real world working hard and providing for my family. I’m forever grateful an so thankful to have met Mrs.Roe. She is a true blessing
