Our love and best wishes go out to you for all you have done for my brother Francisco Maldonado, who is free at last.

You fought like a true warrior, like a mother, like a sister, like the great human being and lawyer that you are. Those five years weren't easy, but you always stood strong and brave by our side. Your professionalism, dedication, persistence, and passion paid off. I will never forget for as long as I live the “Not Guilty...”words pronounced by the Court's Clerk; yes, it was a miracle. You and God were there to make it happen.

No one, including the first two unprofessional lawyers that represented my brother on his first and second trials, believed that our son would be found not guilty of First Degree and Second Degree Murder; except you! You didn't give up on the appeal; we won it; you did not give up on the 3rd trial; finally, on the 4th trial you gave us our son back!!! We cannot thank you enough for all the good you have done to our entire family. We will continue our friendship and friendship for as long as you accept it. We love you, our angel.
