Review Georgia Lord

Super attorney!!!

Posted by SteveMon Aug 05 2019

There are many attorneys out there but there is only one special attorney! I dealt with many attorneys both personally and professionally and many can complete a task. But Georgia Lord can do the same with much less stress and pain! If you’re looking for honest, to the point, square attorney, Georgia Lord is the attorney for the job! My experience with Georgia has been outstanding! She is extremely bright, able to figure out underlying facts/problems with very little explanation and explains legal language into a plain English. She practically read my mind and I can always get in contact with her. Georgia put herself in my shoe and gave the most candid opinion I’ve heard. I highly recommend her to solve any problem you might have!
