Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Unfortunate circumstances brought us to Mr. Upson. Mr. Upson is compassionate, honest, informative, professional, etc. He always kept us informed with any updates, never ignoring our inquiries, Mr. Upson walked us through this appellate process step by step. Was never a time where he presented negativity. Always providing us with positive thoughts. I still can't say enough about his integrity. He will always be a part of our hearts!!
What a talented lawyer and after he won my case instead of just calling to tell me that he won. He gave me more good news. He said to me that he was done and I did not owe him anymore money. Ethics are everything. If you hire this guy your going to get the real deal. I would recommend him to any person that I care about and I have absolute confidence in him
Mr. Upson gave me my life back, even when everything was pointing to me commiting a crime I didn't commit. He was truthful throughout the entire case, he was always upfront about the consequences of the choices I decided to make during the case. Even if things turned out different I would have still bren satisfied knowing that he tried and did what he could have for me. I have no regrets only thankfulness
