"Been working with Future First Criminal Legal Team since 2020. They helped provide legal experience for an unjustified case I was not taking the plea. Fast forward to 2023, case was pulled to Superior Court and dismissed the day before the actual court date. Big thanks to the whole FFC Legal Team truly helped provide the outcome wanted."

"If I could rate Future First Crimal Law higher I would. After making the dumb mistake of getting a DUI they have been there for me every step of the way. There is nothing worse than going at this alone. You want someone in your corner during this stressful time and no one is better than Zach and his team there. Without them the consequences would’ve been much worse so very thankful to the team."
