“I was sent to federal prison in August of 2022 on a serious drug conviction. I was being denied my FSA credits so my fiancee looked into lawyers to help, and man, did he find the absolute best. Mrs. Elizabeth's last name says it all. While in the process of trying to look into FSA credits, my mom passed away who was watching my 11 year old son. As soon as Mrs. Best found out about it, she quickly decided to file for compassionate release. We were told that now it was a waiting game for the judge’s answer. Well, because of their hard work, the judge ordered a hearing for a date in February which was very rare. Since day one her team has given us hope when we thought there wasn't any. So if you are looking for a lawyer who will fight for you, please call Mrs. Elizabeth Best’s team.”
