Attorney David Joeckel, Attorney Jack Walters and staff were absolutely amazing! They believed in me and my case which never waivered. This was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but it was well worth it. You have to stand up to bullies and say no more! Getting the proper representation is key!
