Mr.
Kirk was absolutely fantastic. I had no idea what I was doing, and he handled my case with ease. He communicated well and was able to close the case with a result that I’m very happy with. Highly recommend.

Hired Mr Anderson for a couple of cases. I have never experienced such a lazy no work no effort condescending a hole. Had a pd that walked circles around this clown! Absolutely don’t waste your money! You will regret! Gives lawyers a bad name. Good luck with your beer tours!
