NateI was fortunate to have Micha Boucher represent me, I obtained a favorable outcome that I couldn't be more pleased with. Micha Boucher is an exceptional criminal lawyer who truly knows the ins and outs of her field of expertise. Her strategic approach, attention to detail, and relentless dedication were evident from day one. She skilfully provided outstanding guidance, providing clear communication and expert advice, and she fought hard to defend my interest. I HIGHLY recommend her!
Martin Carter Smehlik (carterthehero)No words can't describe how grateful I am for the services of Mr. Tom Gijsberts. Even though my case was quite specific and took over 2 years to resolve, Tom went beyond his means in order to address this dreadful process since the first second we have met until the very last moment. His attention to detail, amazing communication skills and overall extensive experience in his field are truly impressive. Tom is a true professional and I'm forever grateful for the support along with the sterling work he provided to me throughout the entire process even though I live far abroad now. Dear Tom & the team, thank you for everything!
