Competence, Confidence, & Candor
I was maliciously accused by an individual wholly lacking in integrity whom considers the Montgomery County Police Department to be her personal enforcers. This person appealed to a police officer; presumably her friend; to file fictitious charges without investigation. –maybe they “are” her enforcers.
I immediately contacted the Azari Law Firm upon being served with a court summons and charges.
Azari Law firm quickly and affirmatively responded; presenting me with the most capable and attentive of attorneys (L. Kollecas). L Kollecas contacted me by phone, listened to the details of my situation; which I considered dire; made well thought inquires, and candidly advised on what was needed to effectively represent my case.
L. Kollecas also demonstrated patience, compassion, and exemplary attention to detail.
• Patience: I can send a LOT of correspondence when I am stressed out
• Compassion: Listened to everything I had to say and empathized with my plight
• Exemplary attention to detail: Was able to go through an incredible magnitude of information, quickly identify key points, draw sound conclusions, and always asked relevant questions to forward her understanding of the case.
Our first hearing rapidly approached, and my malicious accuser repeatedly lied in court, presented dubious and baseless opinions, and attempted to use hearsay as evidence.
L. Kollecas carefully listened, objected to misleading statements in an effective manner, and fully exposed the lies of my accuser during cross-examination.
My accuser bitterly sulked when her first action was rebuked by the judge in the form of a dismissal at the preliminary hearing.
