Who Fight Back

“My son was charged with a felony, and we did not know what to do. So I hired David LaCross to handle my son’s case. His wisdom, empathy, and efforts not only eased my mind but brought us through. The charges were dropped! My son is free and thriving today! No words can truly express my gratitude.”
