Fantastic
Lars is a phenomenal person and lawyer. I hired him based on some frantic internet research at a turbulent time in my life and got so much more than I ever expected. He was fighting for me even before I started fighting for myself ! I had moved out of the area and was not able to be at the many many...

Excellent, Professional, Courteous and effective attorney!
Lars has expeditiously represented me in court and had my case dismissed (Hit and Run) where I damaged a vehicle. I am very pleased with the outcome.
