I am a general contractor and a client sued me for breaking our contract and not doing good work on his house and i did not agree.Mr. Whitehead represented me in a jury trial and at the end we not only proved that i did the work but the jury also gave me money due to the homeowner's breach of contrac...t. he did a very good job and i was very happy with the results . Sincerely, Armando Pinheiro
