Posted by Terri | August 02, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Debt Collection

Kathleen has represented our businesses for over 20 years. She fights hard, and intelligently. No one works harder or smarter.

A customer failed to pay us over $300,000 which was a huge hit. Kathleen took the case to trial, won our money back and collected her attorneys fees from them!
