He was fantastic with my workers compensation case. Came to meet us right of the bat. Drove 50 miles one way to speak with me. Kept me informed and up to date with everything. Wasn't a pushover and went straight after them for more than I thought possible. Asking what he could do for me and who he could speak with to better my care. He'll take care of everything you need with minimal to no aggravation or travel involved. 5 stars and beyond.
He kept me informed and was always accessible. I felt that he would answer all my questions honestly. He even helped my mother out on a case that she was offered a very low settlement and the offer increased 300 percent.
