Early that same Sunday morning I received communication back while Mr. Lauzon was on his way (at the airport even) to a two-week vacation abroad. This set the tone for the attenti...

Replied last August 02, 2022Upon review, we have reason to believe that you are not a former client of our law firm.

If you have a legitimate complaint, please call us.
