The attorney answered the phone, to my surprise he was very helpful speaking with me over the phone for the first time. I had some questions and he broke it down to me over the phone. I will definitely be seeking counsel from this law firm. I had a very positive vibe from this attorney. He appears to be very helpful, smart and patient.
