I started out by asking about terminating my probation early on AVVO with the intent to hire one of the attorneys who responded to me. Mr. Felling was one of three attorneys who responded to my request for help, and I chose to schedule a consultation with him because he was the only one who offered one for free. From that fact alone, I could tell Mr. Felling really cares a lot about the concerns of his clients. After explaining my situation I knew he would go the extra mile in trying to help me get my probation terminated early in order to improve my chances of having job opportunities that my probation was holding me back from obtaining/maintaining. His assistant, Sara, was delightful and very quick to respond to emails too.
The District Attorney objected to my motion for early termination; in Linn County, terminating probation early when that's the case is very difficult. Mind you, I have a very unique and extraordinary set of circumstances that caused probation to be excessively harsh. One of those circumstances was very embarrassing and personal for me. I did not want anything about it to be said out loud in court because of that. Mr. Felling went the extra mile again. He asked to go into the judge's chambers before my hearing with the district attorney to privately share the sensitive information with the judge. With Mr. Felling at my side, I beat the odds and my motion was granted. I highly recommend him if you want an attorney who really cares about you and will go the extra mile.
