Natalee Qahhaar

Client

On a felony drug case, Mr. Bell fought for me and ensured I received the least possible sentence. In fact it was probation, on a charge that started out non- probationable. More than just legal expertise, he made me feel safe and confident every step of the way,

Brittani Fields

Client

Mr. Bell represented me in a DUI case and at the preliminary hearing he was very meticulous and tied down every aspect of the case pertaining to whether the officer properly administered the field sobriety tests. He was able to demonstrate that probable cause was never established and the arrest was improper.

Renda Gunter

Client

My son was charged with several crimes he did not commit and his attorney could not get his case resolved. So, we hired Mr. Bell to get his case moving and to get a resolution. However, the DA on the case refused to negotiate or discuss the case, so Mr. Bell set it for a preliminary hearing. As a result, all of the charges against my son were dismissed.
