In July of 2016 I hired Ms. Baxter to defend my son who was facing multiple charges after stopping his bipolar medication. She was able to get several of the charges dropped so that he's able to get the help he needed rather than go to jail to become another statistic. I will always be grateful for the time and care Ms. Baxter showed both myself and my son during this terrifying time.
