I endorse this lawyer. Although the drop down menu only permits one selection, I would enthusiastically endorse George for both criminal and personal injury cases.

I have known George for about 20 years. Even in the late 90's, he was a leader among criminal defense lawyers with impeccable ethics. He is a fierce advocate for his clients. They are very lucky (and smart) to have chosen him as their lawyer.
