This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
Jay and his entire team are excellent to work with.
They were always there to answer any questions I had about my case and kept me updated every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better team to be on my case. I highly recommend them!

Mr Fleece is a highly professional and skilled lawyer who handles his cases in the best way possible He can be trusted to respond promptly and honestly. He represented me in a case that was emotionally charged and in high conflict. Mr Fleece was instrumental in resolving the case.
