Replied last February 02, 2018Well, I always fight for what my clients want in any case and, if the demands are reasonable, we usually achieve them. I don't know who you are because you posted an anonymous review so this could just be spam. That being said, if there is an issue with my firm's representation of you, please call me in the office or on my cell phone so I can address it. If you really did retain my firm, you will have my cell phone.
