John Cheney: “They gave me a court-appointed lawyer first, you know before I hired y’all on. It was every day of I don’t see how there’s any hope. Even the person who’s supposed to represent me, you know, is saying ‘I don’t know, this is crazy.’ I don’t know what we can do about it.”

John Cheney: “I did some research on some different places. What convinced me to go with y’all is the reviews were good and so widespread. I was like, ‘oh, these guys must be doing something right here.’The only hope that was brought to the table is when I hired y’all on. Hands down”

John Cheney: “the best decision of my life when it comes to these matters. They brought me into the fold there. I knew I was going to get good representation. I knew she wouldn’t let me lose my kids.

John Cheney: “back in my old childhood house, being the little brother of the family. And, you know, if somebody messed with me, my brother and sister were standing right there in front of them. Hey, hey, hey, you don’t do that. That’s how I felt with these two. They were my defenders. I don’t know how”

John Cheney: “I would have survived without these guys, but all I know is they got me through it, clawed their way through anything that was thrown at us. They would not let me fail, and they’ll do the same for you. I’m confident. I thought I was going to feel a sense of relief.”

John Cheney: “The first feeling wasn’t relief. It was a ‘yeah, we know’. And I was like, well, of course. I mean, I was standing there and I was looking at the work. That my lawyers did, the way they conducted themselves and how they stuck to it. Then the relief”

John Cheney: “set in, and then the 3 1/2 years of holding back tears broke. So I let that go. If it was another law group, I just honestly don’t see any other way that it could have turned out like this without those two individuals. Just period.”
