Albert M. Messer's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have seen Mr. Messer in action in the courtroom, and you will be very well represented if you are lucky enough to get him on your case. He goes the extra mile for his clients and cares about the outcome."
"This is the lawyer a lawyer would hire if he got charged with DWI."
"I endorse this lawyer. Very impressive credentials and willing to try cases in court. Is also responsive to phone calls and emails. Would recommend highly."
"Al Messer is a "Lawyer's Lawyer." He has a sharp legal mind, quick wit and personable demeanor. I consider myself lucky to count him as a friend. Al is known within the legal community as a legal scholar. He enjoys the process of researching and arguing cases. There are few attorneys out there whom possess a greater and/or more thorough knowledge of the law. His subtle sense of humor is refreshing. I enjoy seeing him in court, especially in Chambers when we can catch up and discuss developing trends in the Courts. Al isn't afraid to take on complex, difficult legal issues or causes. I would not hesitate to send him a case, especially one involving a serious felony in Buncombe County. Bill Powers www.PowersMcCartan.com [email protected]"
"I have known Al for over 10 years, and have regularly referred him cases. He is a smart and crafty advocate, who will work until he achieves success, whether the fee he was paid justifies that or not.He is an excellent choice for a traffic or criminal matter."
"Al is a great lawyer who works hard for his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Great lawyer. Al is very honest, trustworthy, and most importantly cares about his clients."
"I endorse Albert. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
