A wealth of information

I had a consultation with Mr. Ganong this week, and he was wonderful. He reviewed the information I brought with me, went over legal information and definitions with me, and what a judge or opposing counsel may do or say. He was honest, respectful, and I left his office with a sense of relief, and an... idea of what direction I wanted to go in. I cannot thank him enough for taking the time to meet with me. His staff was also very kind, and responsive. I highly recommend him.
