From time to time on this blog, our attorneys will share their firsthand experiences of working with our clients. In this instance, Abigail Fillman proves that at Weber Kracht and Chellew, we don’t just take your case; we act as your champion.

I represented a widow with young, twin children. This woman was involved for the first time in the criminal system based on helping her friend sell her prescription drugs, resulting in a serious felony charge – a charge under the same provision of the Crimes Code with the same potential penalties that would apply to a career heroin dealer. I was able to ensure that my client could remain at home with her children, that she received appropriate therapy and even encouraged her to engage in new social activities and hobbies. Just prior to my client’s sentencing, a woman with the same charges and no criminal history was sentenced to a state correctional institution. My client’s words were, “You saved my life.”
