Dishonest and a ripoff

Well, Don ripped my company off for work we did on his office network. He has avoided payment 4 times that he told me to stop by and pick up a check..His secretary says no check, and Don is not in the office....But his car is right outside...Hmmmm The guy has been suspended from the bar for ripping o...f senior citizens..

Top Talent - will go all the way to win.

Top talent. Highly intelligent and the sort of person who gets the job done. You wouldn't think you'd have to say this about a lawyer - but there are a lot of slouches that are going through the motions for the fees. Don is a trial lawyer of the highest caliber - he will fight to win, and bring hi...s exceptional talents to the table on your behalf rather than simply roll over and settle for half as many seem to. I beleive he will work on contingency for the right cases.
