Rene is amazing. She just kept standing for me, like, “I believe in you and I believe in your case,” and just kept fighting. She has experience with these types of cases and assured me, like, “No. I didn't deserve this or I didn't do anything wrong.” It actually gave me the confidence to keep moving forward and knowing that I was doing the right thing.
