Replied last November 13, 2014It was my pleasure to garner a stipulation leading to a $43,000 judgment, over a period of time. I am also honored that you would recommend me to others and for you to consider me a friend. That is the highest praise. Sometimes being fair and compassionate to the other side is the best way to get the redress my clients deserve. Other times, aggressive representation is necessary. I pride myself on knowing the difference. You were an asset to your own case both in your comprehensive financial preparation all the way through and your even tempered nature. Thank you again!

Replied last May 25, 2013Dear Charles, I was very happy to have worked with you. What impressed me most about you was your quick grasp of the legal concepts I explained to you, your personable and creative nature and the fact that as soon as you were able (and sometimes when you weren't!) you took care of your financial obligations to your daughter, and your fee to me. You never gave up, even when things got very tough. I am glad to have helped you through that difficult time. Best Regards, Geanine
