WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Chiege is extremely intelligent, articulate and a very kind human being that can see when the law is not working properly. Her performance alone and the way she carried herself was amazing. I would compare her to al pacino in 'And justice for all', andy Garcia in 'Nightfalls on Manhattan' or even Cher in 'Suspect' or Denzel in 'Philadelphia'. It was truly amazing to watch her work and I thank her so much for saving my brother's life. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone who is the victim of something unjust. She made me realize that even though the system is completely broken, there still is a small portion or sliver of complete justice left in this country. I will never forget her..."
