You can trust Louis

This was written before the outcome of the case to keep the integrity of my review with been, however, we got exactly what we hoped for. A dismissal! Louis is an ethical and thorough individual that you can trust. When looking for a lawyer my biggest concern was cost & trust. How do we know if th...is is someone that has our best interest in mind? I know I may not know you, but I hope you can believe me when I say that Louis is someone you can trust. He will tell you if this case is in your favor, if things aren't looking too good, and anything in between. He is extremely thorough in telling you about the many outcomes that can happen, your options, and the laws that may affect your case. And with all the information he gives you he charges things fairly. Louis truly has your best intentions at heart. One thing he told me was to not worry in between legal appearances. He understood that this case could change my life, but he wanted me to keep me calm as we pushed through our case. Another big benefit of Louis is that he has an extensive network of the best professionals I could've asked for. He had me connected to other legal counsel and expert witnesses that truly pushed through my unjust persecution of careless driving. If you are looking for someone you can trust Louis is your guy.

Great Lawyer

Mr. Underbakke was able to get a company to remove a collection they placed on my credit reports in May of 2016 and also in 2013. He is great to work with and is very professional and knowledgeable. If you need a lawyer I strongly recommend you contact him.
