After much research I was very fortunate to find a highly skilled, accomplished, professional, thorough and conscientious Attorney. My case was a very complex one, which many lawyers found daunting. Mr. Mechanic, not only understood my case and the complexities, but his support staff also had the experience and abilities to help him represent me very successfully. His representation is thorough , professional and beyond reproach. His preparation, accessibility and experience make him the best attorney that one could hope to have represent you.
