What recent reviews say

Clients consistently report rapid results on expungements and criminal matters, often within weeks to months. Christina Gomez and Jeff Cardella stand out for combining speed with genuine care: one reviewer spent 30 years waiting for rights restoration and found relief here; another who feared a failed background check had their entire record cleared. Staff go beyond expectations, including weekend calls from court prep. Two dissenting reviews flag a hang-up from office staff and selective case acceptance.

The firm's reputation rests on expungement expertise and criminal defense across shoplifting, drug charges, domestic violence, and federal cases. Reviewers emphasize being heard and treated as individuals, not case numbers. Speed matters here: one expungement closed in under 30 days, another felony early expungement defied other lawyers' "impossible" verdicts. This is not a high-volume mill.

Eskew Law

Clients consistently experience confident, prepared representation backed by attorneys who take personal interest in their outcomes. Named attorneys (Yasmin Abdelhak Barker, Christopher Eskew, Ben Jaffee, Heather Franklin) and staff earn praise for explaining legal strategy, handling custody and family cases swiftly, and delivering courtroom wins; one negative review flags intake staff for unresponsiveness and unclear case-determination processes. Their website lists criminal defense expertise (DUI, drug, assault, fraud, expungement), though recent reviews focus on family law and criminal outcomes. Service areas span Indianapolis to Fort Wayne. The firm claims over 75 years combined experience.
