Troy Lanier is the best litigation attorney you can hire!

If you find yourself in a situation where you need a litigation attorney, I would only reccomend Troy Lanier. In my situation a judgement for over $300,000 had been awarded against me. I felt it was unjust and, through a reccomendation, contacted Troy. After a free consultation Troy agreed to take my... case and after working dilligently for me my case was settled within six months my case was settled when the judgement and award of over $300,000 were dismissed. Troy and his staff were very thorough in preparing my case. They went to great lengths to collect information by researching numerous court and other documents as well interviewing and taking sworn affidavits from various witnesses. I hold a security clearance and my situation caused me an issue at work. I contacted Troy for advice and within four hours I had a letter from Troy that satisfied the issue. This judgement had showed up on my credit report. Troy took measures and worked tirelessly to have it removed. These were just a couple of examples of the numerous things that, I feel where, Troy went over and beyond in representing me. Troy always kept me informed as to the progress of my case. He is very easy to talk and listen to. I am by no means a legal expert, Troy always explained everything to me in language that I could understand. Troy and his staff were always accessible, never more than a phone call or e-mail away. I was very impressed that, considering his busy schedule, I never had any trouble contacting him. He was always available to me. If he could not answer the phone or an e-mail immediately he would, without fail, contact me within a couple of hours. The cost of his services are comparable with most of the litigation attorneys that I researched. But I will have to say that for the superb representation, comfort and peace of mind that I received from Troy and his wonderful staff I got a bargain. Maybe most importantly, even if my case had gone the other way I would still be writing this reccomendation. So again if you need a litigation attorney look no further than Troy Lanier
