We Are Very Grateful to This Law Firm
I hired Patituce & Associates for a family member recently. There was one charge of a felony 3, which may have had consequences of up to three years' incarceration. The end result was the felony was reduced, and my family member was able to receive several years' probation and a program, but this allowed him to keep his freedom and be with his family. We are very grateful to this law firm. They worked hard, and Catherine Meehan and Aaron Schwartz were the attorneys that worked on the case. They both were very caring and knowledgeable and professional. Thank you, Patituce & Associates, for being there for us and getting us through this!
