About Daryl D. Anthony – Daryl D. Anthony

I mistakenly carried a weapon into a secure zone and was in for a life changing brush with the law. It was a dumb and serious mistake and I needed help from someone that could represent me and has a good working relationship with the legal system. I chose Mr. Anthony to represent me and help explain that even though this was a serious charge that this was a mistake with no ill will in my heart. Mr. Anthony successfully represented my case and always kept me informed on what to expect and what to do next.I highly recommend Mr. Anthony to be your attorney. I wish to thank Mr. Anthony for his help, my family thanks you as well.
