Posted by John | February 29, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Excellent Attorney. Cannot recommend highly enough.

"Let me begin the story this way - we were in litigation that had gone on for months and gotten to the point of irreconcilable hostility - major litigation potentially involving a great deal of money. Mr. Higgs took the time and energy to understand every nuance, proposed alternative strategies, a...nd in a single day, with the weight of a smart legal blueprint behind him that he developed, brought us to a place of strength rather than a place of weakness. Charles Higgs is a rare blend of a quick study, a ferocious advocate, multi-talented, and a good guy. I wish I could talk him into expanding his areas of concentration - I cannot think of an area of law where I wouldn't want him on my side. Please do hire Mr. Charles Higgs."
