Very pleased with this lawyer
I have had prior lawyers but this one is great. I was very pleased by what he did for me and my husband. He listened to us which was huge and he fought for us. It is nice for aaawyer to listen as opposed to tell you what to do. That was what I liked most. He was a voice for us in family law.
