Advice worth far more than I paid

Mr. Schopf handled my questions like a good ice cream sundae: generous scoops of competence, honesty and forthrightness, drizzled with kindness, sprinkled with a little humor and topped with encouragement. I will be contacting him again in the future for his expertise on other matters relating to t...he law.
