In Their Words

“My life was on the line and Mr. Baxley performed to the highest of standards. He let me decide how to do certain parts of my proceedings, such as picking the jury and deciding whether or not to testify. Mr. Baxley worked tirelessly for my 3 day court-martial, I can attest to the fact that I think he only slept about 3 hours the entire time he was here. He saved my life and my family and did so with no arrogance. I wish that I had the vocabulary to explain just how amazing he really is. I know excellence and Grover Baxley is an excellent attorney. If you absolutely must fight a court-martial, then he is the person you want in your corner.”
