I have known Ms. Connor for over eight years since she first started law school and I was in search of a law student to help me accomplish legal research for the fourth edition of my treatise, Alabama DUI Defense: The Law and Practice. Ms. Connor demonstrated her superior legal abilities, even though only a second year law student at the time. She went on to graduate as the the top student in her law school class. A superior lawyer in every way and by every measure. View More
