I lived the worst nightmare of my life on August 28th. I was accused of shoplifting at Walmart in my town. It was Sunday, pretty early in the morning when I went grocery shopping for the week. When I went to check out, there were no lanes open for check out other than the self-checkout. I normally don't do these because they are a hassle and take way too much time, but I had no other option. I was scanning and going about my business. I paid the amount and while leaving I was stopped by a man wearing a Walmart vest. He asked if he could check my groceries. I had no problem because I was confused and am a rule follower. Long story short, I was arrested and taken to jail due to miscellaneous items that were not scanned. I was accused of theft that day and then a week later, lost my job as an elementary school counselor. My life changed in the blink of an eye. To some people, this might not have been a big deal, but to me it felt as if my world was caving in and there was no way out. I pulled myself together to search for a criminal defense lawyer. After sifting through ads, reading reviews on google, I came across Kyle Therrian with the Law Office of Rosenthal Kalabus & Therrian. Kyle had an availability that same day. I was a mess when I went in. We met. He talked me through the entire scenario from worst case to best case. I felt a sense of relief walking out and knew I could finally get a good night's sleep. Days and months passed before I heard anything about my court date. My first court appearance was set for December 2nd. I showed up early, dressed nice, and ready to get this process started. First appearance was standard. We met back at his office a month later to go over Pretrial Diversion. After explaining to me that I would have to admit to a crime I didn't intentionally commit, I realized that I couldn't go through with it. It scared me because that mean the prosecutors would have to dismiss the case, I could go to trial, or entertain the idea of pretrial diversion. Kyle gave me some homework to get done before our next court date. He rooted for me, believed my truth, and stood behind me. Yes, I know lawyers do that, but Kyle knew that settling for pretrial diversion wasn't something he could stand behind because he invested in me and learned that theft was not in my character. On February 9th, I made my 2nd appearance in court. I met up with Kyle, gave him all my completed homework and he went to work defending me and my character. We WON!! While Kyle could never guarantee that my case would get dismissed, he knew we had a solid case. If you are EVER in need a criminal defense lawyer, you don't need to keep researching. Stop here and call for meeting with Kyle Therrian!!! Thank you, Kyle! I feel as if my life has been given back to me and I am...
   Read moreIf you are reading this, more than likely you are in serious trouble and scared. I have good news â you have come to the right place! RKT are criminal defense attorneys that specialize in numerous criminal matters and WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. I cannot emphasize enough that the skill, experience and wisdom of these attorneys are paramount for what one needs during this difficult time. You may currently be in an emotionally turbulent state and trust me I know what you are going through â I was there too. Even though everything may feel hopeless, be strong, call RKT, and keep telling yourself, âI will survive this.â Once you get an attorney you will start to feel better. But make sure: 1.) You are honest with them about the incident, 2). Listen to and follow their instructions, and 3). Consistently communicate and provide them with what documents they require. By adhering to your attorneyâs wisdom and guidance you will dramatically increase the probability of this incident concluding in your favor better than you can imagine. Now, be prepared for the statement âthere are no guarantees of outcome.â This is because you are dealing with police and courts, not logic and common sense. My incident was a class A Misdemeanor assault charge from my bitter, soon to be ex-wife. I was shocked that all it took to get arrested was her calling the Plano police and claiming we were arguing, and she feared me. Yes, alcohol was involved, from both of us. However, after this incident I stopped drinking, joined AA, and became the Christian I should have always been. It took 6 months for the charge to be filed and then about 10 months after that until it was scheduled for trial. By the grace of Jesus, literally days before the trial, my attorney Aubrey Noonan, was able to negotiate with the prosecutor and the case was DISMISSED. Thank you, Aubrey, you...
   Read moreI don't think the character limit on this review would allow me to fit in all the wonderful things I have to say about Bo Kalabus. I had to fire my original and very toxic attorney mid-case which was extremely stressful and frightening to me, but now I see that it happened for a reason - because it led me to Bo Kalabus, my hero. The moment we spoke on our first consultation, my fear and anxiety went from 100 to 0. He is professional, caring, HONEST and completely transparent. Never once did he push me off on a paralegal or ignore me. Every single interaction was with Bo himself which just blew my mind (in a good way). Having gone through divorce and custody in my past, I have dealt with plenty of lawyers and never in my life thought this type of care and constant support was possible. Bo is a man of amazing character and compassion. He took what was the most terrifying time of my entire life and turned it into an amazing and successful outcome I did not ever, ever think was possible by the grace of God. When you go through something scary and stressful, it means so much to know your stress and worries can all go away because Bo has it all under control. I also noticed he is very well respected by his peers. I was stopped by several people who said things to me like "you got the best" and "you are very lucky" to which I whole-heartedly agreed. Please, please do yourself a favor and call this man if you need help. Don't waste time pouring over listings because you will not get anyone as genuine and talented as Bo. He is truly a blessing to everyone he helps and I am just in awe at how talented he is at what he does. Thank you Bo (and staff) for being so very kind and changing my life...
