He Goes to the Heart of the Case

I called for a consultation. After I explained what happened, Mr. Francis immediately said I needed to also sue the business where I fell, not just the Third Party Administrator who "did me wrong." It was the BUSINESS that didn't maintain a safe shopping environment! It was the BUSINESS that caus...ed my injuries! It was the BUSINESS that decided if I was reimbursed or not! It was the BUSINESS that had the power! So, I took his advice and filed on both parties and know it was the correct action. I've prayed continuously throughout the past two years and thank God for directing me to the right people for guidance!
