Great attorney
Have used Attorney Blake for both personal and business matters over the last 9 years. Has always been very prompt, professional , and diligent. Some instances he has told me what I may not wanted to hear but what was the best legal avenue to pursue. Will continue using him for all my matters.

"Kurt is a zealous advocate with a wealth of experience. He fights aggressively for his client's rights. I am pleased to endorse Kurt to anyone looking for high quality legal representation from someone who cares."
"I initially met Attorney Blake due to adverse interests in a tax sale. I "won"...but needed his help to complete the purchase. His knowledge of the nuances of tax sales and title insurance is excellent. His character is beyond question as his dedication to clients. Accordingly, I endorse Kurt without reservation and encourage you to contact him."
