Hired attorney

I would recommend him to anybody.

He has helped me with my case. He always either answered my calls or returned them with in minutes. Mr. Pates answered all my questions, he was very patient with me, never made me feel rushed, and you can tell he genuinely cares. I hope I will never need his services again but if so he will be the only Attorney I will use.
