“I was represented by John back in 2014 and I am very satisfied with how my case turned out. I was stopped while in possession of a small amount of marijuana and I had my handgun under the seat. Mr. Teakell was able get the gun charge dropped and the marijuana charge reduced so that the paraphernalia would not be a factor. I am going to see him in a few months to have the marijuana possession expunged so everything worked out thanks to Mr Teakell!!”
