Posted by Alexandra | November 03, 2011 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Trustworthy, VERY responsive, friendly, dedicated to my case, hardworker, very dependable and reliable, extremely focused.

Mr. Pruhs was an incredible lawyer. He called me constantly to keep me up to date on what was going on in my case, and when I called him he returned my calls right away. Mr. Pruhs is very friendly and warm, and showed interest in me; he really cared. Even though I know, of course, he had other case...s, I always felt I was his most important client. He gave me all different options and was very knowledgeable. He was non judgmental and very dedicated to his work. I have worked with other attorneys, and I always had the feeling of not knowing what was going on, of may be being able to get a better result. However, with Mr. Pruhs I did not feel that way at all; quite the opposite, he took care and got a great outcome for me.
