I don't hear from him much, but I know in my heart he's working. What I saw from him today, made my heart melt. This is an awesome man, he walked in and dismissed my court appointed lawyer who, has been messing me over for a year plus. He knows how to read people, and he instantly noticed I was a good person who made a.bad decision. Honestly life and marriage has been kind of devastating, and it's taken me down a dark road, but with Mr. Makin, I'm may finally see light again, and this time, I will make sure that's all I see. I'm a US Army veteran whose never been in trouble before. I'm 44 years old. This is a first for me, and I'm going to make sure it's the last time, I ever step foot in court ever again. For one, being criticized for something I didn't do, but on the other hand knowing I did some wrong. I've acknowledged that, and started a journey to being healthy and not drinking. I did some research and realized alcohol is a depression, and I never want to put myself in the position I'm in.
