    “Fiercest Advocate”

    “I swear to you all that she is a beast in the courtroom.”
    This woman—my own Lion —defended my son during his murder trial. I swear to you all that she is a beast in the courtroom. Not to brag, but the truth always wins out. She handled two of my son's cases, and he was found not guilty on his 187. She's one of the best troops, and I know that God will give his strongest soldiers the greatest fights! I believe in God! The moment she informed me that my son was headed home, I could not have felt more blessed. While her team were doing their homework, they were listening to police calls, and yes, they heard some information intended to ensure that he was found not guilty. If any one of you want to come home to be with your families y’all better get her on your team. She did have a team of people but the my lion Melissa D. is the truth. Y’all better get y’all one of the best on your team. Get her on your team if any of you choose to return home and be with your family. She had a group of individuals working for her, but Melissa D., my lion, is the real deal. You all need to appoint one of your top players to your team. Love me some her and y’all will too.

Melissa made sure she was available when needed and was very prompt in her responses. Most importantly she was our fiercest advocate through the entire process and always looked after our best interest.
