"To Mark and Associates: It is with my utmost appreciation that I would like to thank all of you for your hard work and dedication. I cannot express to you in words how satisfied I am with the outcome of this dreadful ordeal ... Not only has it made me realize the importance and adoration of freedom itself, but it has given me a true motivation and guide towards who I really want to become and what I really want to do with my life, short term and long term. And I can assure you that none of it involves police, probation, jail or any of the other horrible things that come with crossing blades with the law, so to speak. ... I truly hope I would not require your services again, but God forbid I did, you would all undoubtedly be my first choice for defense." — O.A., Portland, OR
