Excellence in Legal Matters

I have been represented by Mr. Ponsoldt in two separate cases with excellent results. The first case was settled out of court thanks to his unique suggestions that allowed both parties to benefit. The second case culminated in a two week jury trial that Mr. Ponsoldt won and allowed me to close a ver...y painful chapter in my life. Mr. Ponsoldt and his staff were always supportive and honest and created a very trusting relationship. I would highly recommend Mr. Ponsoldt to anyone.

What you should expect in your counsel

Mr. Ponsoldt has been our counsel for 20 plus years, we have had several attorneys working on other cases however He gets the job done correctly and understands what our mission is on each case and keeps us in check. The firm has been there for us when he has not been available in emergencies and th...e staff is knowledgeable and professional. Clearly i would recommend Ponsoldt and his firm, as a contractor, he has sought the relief we were entitled to and prevailed.
