Mr. Reinitz was outstanding when the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed highly impossible. Not only was he able to defend me from a very significant subject that would have otherwise served a negative impact on my life his empathetic demeanor, accessibility, and courteous personality made me feel comfortable and hopeful during this rough time. I am extremely thankful for his service and I recommend Mr Reinitz with no reservations.
