I enjoy training personal protection dogs in my spare time. I have always been a dog lover, and when a family friend introduced me to protection dogs, I was hooked.

Mr. Atkinson was inexperienced and somewhat unprofessional around his colleagues. I hired Mr. Atkinson to help me with a personal injury case that was somewhat complicated. He assured me he could handle it and would get me top dollar with my settlement. He missed court dates and never wanted to discu...
The "review" above does not describe any case or client I have ever dealt with. I appreciate honest criticism, but that's not what this is.
