Client Testimonial

To Tom Royals

“You defended a trumped up criminal indictment against me when I was serving as District Attorney. The politically motivated charges were brought about two weeks before the election in which I was seeking re-election. You demanded a speedy jury trial and got an acquittal in about the time it took the jury to go to the bathroom. I was re-elected without opposition until I retired ..with my reputation intact.”

-Ex-DA, Mississippi

POLICE SOMETIMES USE FORFEITURE LAWS TO GET LEVERAGE OVER CRIMINAL DEFENDANTS.

DON'T AGREE TO ANYTHING BEFORE YOU TALK TO A LAWYER; but even if you've already given up money and property, we may be able to help.

To Tom Royals:

“When I was a country doctor, a federal agency hauled me before a hearing examiner and tried to bar me from receiving funds for treatment of Medicare patients. You studied the file and believed in me. You fought the case in Jackson, Mississippi, Atlanta, Georgia, and in the federal district court in Biloxi, Mississippi. Many lawyers would have given up. Ultimately I was cleared as a result of your work because you believed in me and my patients. You outworked and outsmarted them. You saved my professional life and maybe indirectly helped many sick people. We appreciate it.” Doc, Mississippi

We will fight for you. We will tell you the truth.
