OUR ATTORNEY NOW

We hired Lawyer Mike in 2008. I will not discuss our suit because for one its no ones business and another its not over. So far he has done great work for us. He does return any question I have. He treats you more like friends than clients. As far as I;m concerned he will be our attorny the rest our ...life. He knows his stuff. People dont realize they have more than one case and to people can hurt thier own cases to. The is always gonna be someone who dont like somebody. You really want a lawyer that stinks. Get a few we've had than you can talk. You cant win them all. But we think hes a great person and lawyer.
