I hired Mr. Purtz after a car accident I was in. He was kind, informative and explained things in laymen's terms. I would highly recommend Mr. Purtz to anyone who wants someone whom truly cares.

The extensive marketing materials oversell the true quality of service this attorney offers. Extremely unprofessional, provided the wrong advice and lead us wrong, this also confirmed by subsequent counsel hired. Careless judgments notably impair the ability of this attorney who may be otherwise actually helping customers. Arrogant disdain and hands off attitude make his service poor and dangerous for anyone needing legal representation.
