Hud is the greatest

Hud is the greatest. Its hard to explain but Hud has helped me with so many legal problems. I recommend Hud to anyone who needs a lawyer, always there for me returns calls promptly. I saw what 5 or 6 stars give Hud a 10. could not ask for a better person, lawyer, or if you just need to talk things out. I recommend HUD to the max

Amazing

Posted by

Hud was a tremendous help to my mother-in-law when her husband died unexpectedly. He held her hand through all the various legal documents. She doesn't handle those situations very well, and he made her feel extremely comfortable by taking the time to explain everything to her and answer all her questions.

Recomendation for Hrant Norsigian

Posted by

I have known Hrant Norsigian for about a year and a half now on a personal level, and had to use his services back in September for a domestic dispute. He handled my situation with such professionalism and was able to solve my situation with such ease. I would truly recommend him for any legal representation needed, and I will use him again if the need should arise.

Thanks for the Excellent Professional Service

I have used Mr. Norsigian in two separate medical power of attorney issues. He was extremely professional, courteous and punctual in spite of my short notice requirement. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

A great guy and a great attorney!

Hud has been helping me with an auto accident and is wonderful to work with. He's accessible, answers messages or emails quickly, and has held my hand through the entire process. He had ideas I would never have considered, and is truly helping me get my medical bills taken care of. I would recommend him highly!
