fela injury
I was injured on the job working for a railroad company. After signing with a lawyer and that lawyer telling me everything would be ok and seeing no progress I went to scarzafava and basdekis. Theo and Brent took my case and ran with it. They were both very caring and did an excellent job on my case....
