View Attorney ProfileFree Case Evaluation
Our success lies in our passion for the law. We primarily use motions — such as motions to dismiss and motions to suppress evidence — to earn favorable dispositions and early resolution for our clients.
We've known and used Allison for up to 10 years. She has an awesome understanding of the law. She has on many occasions helped us out. Her knowledge about the law and her dedication to her clients are superior to say the least.
I was arrested for FELONY transportation of marijuana and M&L got a FULL DISMISSAL. Throughout the entire process I felt like I was in the right hands. It was obvious through watching these attorneys work their way around a courtroom they knew what they were doing.
