ReplyDeleteAnon - I respond to your comment only to emphasize, as a general matter, no attorney will guarantee a result in any case even though we sometimes feel very strongly about how the case will -- should -- go. Again, not specifically addressing your situation, but just in general, it an unfortunate fact of life that very, very good attorneys can and do lose cases they expected to win. I know nothing about your case and don't practice in this area. However, I do sympathize with you and wish you the best.
