Additionally, the client was not only able to maintain his career as a Pharm.D. as well as his license, but he has also been restored to a good life as a beloved husband, father, and son. As reflected on the client's full review on Avvo.com entitled "Pharmacist in trouble touched by an angel in his shoulder," the client shares that "I am a hard headed man which got my way till i dealt with NiaLena. I could not win over her and she broke me down piece by piece everything about me and every lie i ever told. I decided to listen to her and man am i grateful for that. She opened my eyes and reached deep down in me to find a very troubled man lost at the mercy of the law and the world. I can't find the words to describe her as only my heart knows. She took me from the depth of destruction and surfaced me. She gave me a new life. I am a changed man because of her.... She is the best by far. She is a strong woman that will never back down and she has great communication skills and pays attention to detail with sound judgement. When dealing with the DEA/FBI is no easy task, without NiaLena i can only imagine where my life would be. I am crying now and these are happy tears. She helped me not only with the case but also in all areas of my life. She became family. She won the case for me and she has won a friend for life.... I lost my mother to cancer but if she was here she will deeply hugged you for saving her son."

    • As reflected on the full review on Avvo.com entitled "NiaLena Is More Than Just An Attorney," the client shares that “she represented more than just facts about the law and ways to objectively improve my disposition in my case. She reflected abundant love and ardor for my case than expected. NiaLena was extremely responsible in making sure that all the information was dissected involving the case and my life. Furthermore, her meticulousness involved knowing almost every detail of my life so that she could provide the best representation possible for my case. She made it possible to always be in contact with me weekly to analyze different possibilities in handling my case. As she delved more into my case and life, she requested that I see a psychiatrist, [although] interestingly, I did not see myself as having a problem. As we investigated and managed this issue further, I found it to be of great value [and] discovered that this was a prodigious reason why I made many of the careless decisions in my life, including those decisions I made that got me involved with this case. I found myself discovering a new person that I never knew – one with a different outlook on life, and a sincere desire to be a better individual.”
