Client Testimonial:

"You saved me. My previous lawyer told me I could not win this case, that I should plead. You told me that if you were innocent, any case can be won, or lost. I told you I wanted you to fight and I was not pleading. Boy, did you fight, and fight, and fight. Getting my case dismissed so close to trial was a miracle. Thank you all."

[T]hank you and congratulate you both on an excellent job well done. You two have the confidence of an eagle and the strength of a grizzly bear. Mark, when you come in the court room you have that aura that puts out extreme perfection and demands perfection. Monica, when you enter the court room you do a quick scan of the surroundings and immediately find your designated and spot for your plan of action, then scope in your clients and prepare your strategy as in a battle field. You two work as a fantastic team and make sure your client feels safe. I will be in to than you both in person and would like to get 5 of your cards for a few friends who I know could use a GREAT team as you two behind them at time of need. Again, than you!
(Client whose case was dismissed)

Back in 2003 I was defended by Griffith and Associates and they did a great job of keeping me out of Prison, with 2 Felony counts. I was put on 10 years deferred probation and had to go to SAFP. In trusting in them 8 years ago I decided to go back to them. Since then 2011 where i served 8 years of my probation i wanted to apply for early release from probation and Griffith and Associates did a magnificent job on getting me granted Early release of probation. I want to personally thank them and the team on working on this for me so i can move on with my life and better my future! Monica did a excellent job and i would definitely recommend this Firm to anyone! They have great ethics and wonderful morals and they will fight till the end for you. Once again Thank you Griffith and Associates. Also, I wanted to say that I have interacted with several defense attorneys through the years and I must tell you that you and your associates are the hardest working, most approachable group I have ever dealt with.

I am so proud I followed recommendations to hire your team. I thought my life would be ruined. You did everything you said you would do. I want to come by the office and hug each one of your team members. You saved my career, you save me so much stress. You saved me.
