Horrible attorney
Volberding is a TERRIBLE attorney ! He overcharges for less than Impressive services and charges extra for services he does not even perform. He dodges your request for action, and then hounds you for more and more money, even after your case is resolved. In all of my extensive experience with attorneys being a business owner HE is by far the worst. Upon his BIG talk of aggressive services, I even reccomended him to other close friend business owners and we have ALL lived to regret ever even meeting this guy. Don't waste your money on him
