When I had a situation occur in my life which was not only shocking but scary, the first person I thought of was Julian and felt comfortable calling him after business hours to help with my dilemma. He was unbelievably helpful and handled my situation with directness, professionalism above and beyond and from the start to the finish of my legal journey proved invaluable with his expertise in every event, filing, and informing me in the correct procedure to handle my experience.
