Replied last July 24, 2015I hope you found a good attorney and am sorry we were unable to handle your claims. We limit the cases we accept to insure the highest quality representation for our clients. I am extremely proud of the results we obtain on the cases we do except. I would encourage anyone looking for a lawyer to look at reviews by those folks the attorney has actually represented in a case as a gauge of the lawyers ability and if they may be a good attorney for your case.
