Always Positive & Full of knowledge!
Brad and Lacey are the B-E-S-T legal team you will ever hope to find in the world. And I don’t say this lightly.. I have had many attorneys in my life but no one, and I mean - no one - had this level of knowledge or cared about the client and the case like they do! They always have your best interest...

Very Professional and thorough.
Used Brad for an issue I just couldn’t handle myself. He was very professional and always returned my calls himself. He genuinely cared about me.
