  • "Your very thorough investigative work, preparation, and execution were all very good and saved a young man from a possible disaster to his entire future."
    Travis and I and our entire family would like to thank you for the excellent job you did on the recent Traffic Ticket case against Travis. We found you to be very generous, very professional, and very competent. Your very thorough investigative work, preparation, and execution were all very good and saved a young man from a possible disaster to his entire future. You also saved me from an economic expense that I could ill afford at this time. I heard a rumor that you might be thinking about a possible run for the State Legislature in the future. You would certainly have my vote and my support with everyone I know. We would highly recommend you to anyone who is in need of a good attorney. You have given us a new and much improved opinion of the legal profession. Very best wishes for the future and much appreciation for the job you did.

  • "Thank you again for being a real lawyer."
    I just wanted to thank you for serving as a good example for all lawyers out there. Thank you for taking care of my friend and her son and for going the extra mile. I know it’s not easy. All too often I hear terrible stories about how some bad apples treat their clients. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who treats their clients almost like family. Thank you again for being a real lawyer.
