Posted by Tiffani | July 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

I don't always need an attorney, but when I do I choose Laforest

I needed help with my unemployment claim and ultimately I called Mr Laforest initially because he was the first person to come up when I searched for attorneys. I can't be more grateful that he did! Honestly my claim is still open and is in an appeals process; but I have to say, regardless of the out...come I am very, truly thankful to have Mr Laforest on my side. He was very patient and listened to everything I had to say. I would imagine that he is a very busy man and he could've cut me off or hurried the conversation, but not once did he do that. HE IS HONEST. The truth is sometimes hard to take; but regardless of if he was going to have to sugarcoat that pill or not, he was givin' it to ya. He is super personable and professional. We were so lucky to get to work with someone that is in NO WAY the same caliber professional that Mr Laforest is; and to this day I am still shocked at how he was able to remain calm, and collected. And while I'm talking about being shocked...everytime I called/emailed Mr Laforest he never treated me as though I was interrupting or bothering him AND HE ALWAYS KNEW WHO I WAS AND ABOUT MY CASE! I imagine that if you're reading this then there are definitely some waves in your river of life, but lucky for you, you happened upon Mr Laforest...maybe even like I did. Now all you have to do is call and see if he'll take your case!

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Laforest was nothing less than wonderful in the time that he worked with me on my case. I was thoroughly impressed by his constant support and effort to make my needs his utmost priority. He was patient, kind, and most of all made my rather complicated case as seamless as it possibly could be. I ...wouldn't hesitate to hire Mr. Laforest again, and enthusiastically recommend him for anyone looking for a fantastic attorney by their side.
