"Justin Putney demonstrated a level of professionalism that went well beyond what was necessary. He was available via telephone each time I called, articulate, and showed a clear understanding of the legal process from the start. He worked to ensure I was out of custody in a timeframe that exceeded all expectations. His calm, direct approach and dedication to the case made a difficult situation far easier to navigate. I highly recommend him."

"Aaron Hamrock took my retainer before I was formally charged, did nothing, wouldn't return calls or emails. When I was charged, I asked for the retainer back so I could hire someone who actually returns my phone calls and he he would only give me 25% of it. Hire literally anyone else.."

"Justin Putney Did nothing for me just took my money and that was basically it. I asked them to contact someone and they said they did not have the number but i gave it to them and they still said no. I would have no charges against me if they would have actually done something for the amount of money i spent for an hour of there time."
