Very helpful Attorney

Curt was very kind and honest with me about my case, I was referred to him by another attorney. I think he is definitely one of the most sympathetic and strongest lawyers out there.

"I endorse this lawyer. While it is hard for me to choose favorites among the hundreds of labor and employment attorneys I have come to know in the last 20 years, I say without reservation that Curt is in the top 99.5% . . .he is off-the-charts smart, well-liked, and highly respected by his legal peers and adversaries. Curt makes a formidable expert witness in workplace investigations and employment cases. He does great volunteer work in the legal community. I would recommend Curt and his law partner Nancy Bornn in a heartbeat."
