Should've of used Peter

Another attorney from Illinois Ernie who I trusted and earned my respect for his honesty! Recommend Peter and I listening to the attorney I hired because he was cheaper was a mistake. When you trust one attorney always go this because Ernie always told me the way it was! He recommended Peter and I m...ade a mistake for $1500 difference should of went my recommendation of Peter! Peter sorry for not making the time to see you because of $1500 and I may lose my license for that mistake! Once again sorry Tom
