Hubert's Case — Criminal Harassment — Testimonial

In March of 2003, I was charged with a criminal offence for the first time. As a result, I felt scared, intimidated, and worried. My thoughts became confused and I had difficulty concentrating on my work. I was an emotional wreck!

Out of desperation, I searched the Yellow Pages for a lawyer. I saw Craig Penney's advertisement. He looked friendly in the picture. When I telephoned him to set up an appointment, he was courteous and professional on the phone.

I soon met Craig at his office and I found him to be an energetic, articulate, helpful, and sincere individual. He seemed quite knowledgeable and experienced with criminal law and the court system, as he thoroughly answered all of my questions and clearly explained everything to me. But what impressed me the most was that he displayed an extreme confidence in his ability to change my predicament into nothing less than a positive outcome. So with that, I immediately retained him as my lawyer to help me. I instinctively knew that he was extremely capable of representing me and defending my interests both inside and outside of the courtroom. As I was leaving Craig's office, I felt a great sense of relief knowing that I had just hired one very good criminal defence lawyer. The despair I was experiencing had all disappeared.

Ten months later, the criminal charge against me was finally withdrawn. Craig succeeded in reaching the goal that he set for himself resulting in one of the best possible outcomes for my case. Throughout my ten-month ordeal, Craig's confidence never wavered for a moment. He remained focused on his goal, and was always cheerful and upbeat. He kept me up-to-date with the latest developments and he was always accessible whenever I needed to ask him a question or address a concern. In my best interest, he also helped me to get professional help for my problems so as to ensure that I would never have another brush with the law. Even better still, I was able to live my life normally the whole time with minimal worry. Craig did all the worrying for me by taking care of everything including attending my 10 or so court date appearances on my behalf so that I didn't have to! By using his professional expertise and know-how, he guided me virtually unscathed through an otherwise perilous court system.

Hiring Craig as my criminal defence lawyer was definitely the best move I ever made in my situation. I feel very fortunate to have met him. He applied himself 120% from start to finish and got great results for me. Thanks Craig. You did an excellent job!
