"Words can't describe how grateful I am for my lawyer Alex Deardorff. From the beginning of time when she was a public defender she's represented me up until currently. Watching her thrive & seeing her growth along the way is so inspiring!.. Always took her time with each case of mine throughout the years approaching it with care & being mindful of my circumstances giving me the best advice to her knowledge never misleading. I'm so happy with my victory today receiving the bare minimum even with so many odds against me. Thank you again Alex we love you dearly ❤️"
