My Mom was killed in a vehicular accident. Our family was grief stricken and devastated. When we learned the responsible party had inadequate insurance coverage that added insult to injury. The law firm guided us through this painful and difficult time with compassion, sincerity and professionalism. They worked hard and went the extra mile to obtain all the legal compensation available – even more than the policy limits. My family is thankful we had such excellent legal representation and we highly and recommend the Firm.
