"Caleb Wood was my son’s attorney. Gonna fight for him he said. Could never talk to him because his assistant and whoever by chance answers the phone, is going to be rude and nasty. That’s if you’re black though. All of these offices and attorneys work together. They laugh together in front of family members about your loved ones. Caleb Wood allowed my son to be railroaded. I wish we could leave reviews about judges, because Judge Colaw is one nasty judge. You want real help as a minority, God help you, you don’t need these people."

"I just wanted to recognize Kristofer W. Eisenmenger. I know as PD’s you guys are over loaded with so many different cases at any given moment. He showed me and my fiancé so much human decency and showed that he cared when it was a very difficult and emotional time for us. People remember the small things that you do for them and for this I’ll never forget his kindness. You have a bright and wonderful future ahead of you! Keep up the amazing work and thank you for doing what you could."
