I endorse Mr. Conner. He has worked with some of my domestic clients in handling their real estate issues, and he has always done an excellent job. Personally, he handled my last real estate closing for my wife and me, and he was incredibly helpful; Mr. Conner went above and beyond to get us in our new house on time.
Wayne is an excellent attorney who works hard for all of his clients to get the results they are looking for.
I highly endorse this lawyer. I admire his knowledge and dedication to his clients.
