The lawyers were experts in our type of case. In addition, the lawyers were supported by an amazing team of clerks and paralegals. The team made certain that everything was processed accurately, timely, and effectively. A proper resolution could not have been obtained without the support of these attorneys and their staff. Their effectiveness was obvious to the defendant who quickly settled the case.
