Replied last February 11, 2021Sorry to hear that my previous law firm was unsuccessful in your recent appeal. Although I have not worked at that firm for over 5 years, I would be more than willingly to discuss any issues you may have had (201) 646-1100. Notwithstanding that I am with a different practice, me and Mr. Neary are very proud of our track record of client satisfaction and favorable results.
