I highly recommend Attorney Provis!

I represented myself (pro se) in my L&I claim against and assistant attorney general lawyer, before the BIIA and superior court. As one might figure, I lost. I don't know of many cases where a pro se wins against a lawyer especially a lawyer from the Office of the Attorney General. I sought informati...on via AVVO.com. Attorney Provis responded, was the first to respond and was clear and concise in his response. His response is one of the better; if not the best, response I read on AVVO and trust me when I say I read many posts and responses before I posted. If Attorney Provis practiced in WA State, I would definitely seek consultation with him to represent me!

Attorney Provis cuts to the exact issue in question.

Mr. Provis offerred a valuable assesment of my personal legal issue free of charge, but most importantly, he wasted no time and addressed the exact issue which I presented to him. He was informed, descriptive, and helpful to my clear and present need. Thank you Mr. Provis.
