My father was represented by a court appointed attorney. He failed to tell my father that he would be deported under the plea agreement that he signed. I hired Mr. Babcock to help my father avoid deportation. He contacted the United States Attorney’s Office and negotiated a new plea for my father which may make him eligible to stay in the United States. His legal fees were very reasonable. Thanks to Mr. Babcock, my father has a fighting chance now to stay with his family in the United States.

I was caught for smuggling drugs and failed to go to my court date in federal court because I had started a new life and had a baby. When I was arrested, I was facing a sentence of ten years in federal court and also extradition to another state on other drug charges. Mr. Babcock was able to obtain a sentence in federal court of only ten months for me, far less than anyone expected. The big surprise is he was also able to obtain a dismissal of my charges in the other state. Soon, I will be able to join my husband and be together again as a family, thanks to the hard work of attorney Russell Babcock.

I want to express my deep feeling of gratitude to you for your unswerving and steadfast faith and my case, and the staggering amount of work you did in preparing for trial . . . I will always remember with fondness our harried and frantic work together in preparing for trial…. and at times your strokes of genius. I believe [the government] was truly shocked when they realized……that not only did I have a for-real fighting attorney, but one who really knew what he was doing. You were truly magnificent in the courtroom. You exuded charisma that made the Assistant United States Attorney pale in comparison. I am very proud to have worked with one of the best (maybe the best). [You are] one of the vanishing breed of honest and ethical attorneys will give his all for a client – a defense attorney who hasn’t prostituted himself to the government. I will never forget you.

You will figure greatly in our thanks at Thanksgiving this year. Thanks to you, Jordan got the opportunity to turn his life around. Because of diversion, he got to finish his Nursing assistant program and has now been working for six weeks. He looks great, more relaxed, more self-confident and incredibly clean [drug free]

I received a sentence of over thirty five years for living with my girlfriend in Mexico. The District Attorney convicted me of kidnapping and other related charges. I probably would have spent the rest of my life in jail if it had not been for Mr. Babcock. Mr. Babcock won my case on appeal and then handled my case at the trial level. He was able to negotiate a result where I only spent about one additional year in jail. I am free today and living with my family.
