Knowledgeable, professional.
I have had the opportunity of working with Blake Oliver twice, on two separate matters. On both occasions, Blake was extremely up to date and thoroughly knowledgeable about the law and its relevance to my situation. In addition to these attributes, I found that Blake was always prompt in his responses and very accessible. I HIGHLY recommend Blake Oliver as a knowledgeable and dependable lawyer! Mark M.
