I recommend

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.

Mr. West was referred to us by a friend to help us through a real estate issue. He was incredibly helpful and timely with all of the questions that came up through the process. He did lots of research on our behalf and always answered our calls/emails promptly. If we ever need legal advice again, we’ll be calling him.

When I lost my job, Mr. West helped guide me through an unemployment issue. He was professional and was always able to find answers for me. Most importantly, he seemed like he cared. Highly recommend.
