What our Clients are Saying
This case had everything. An uncooperative assignor, multiple complaints and cross-complaints, a five year statute of limitations issue, a Covid shut down, a judgment lien, a Motion for Order Authorizing Settlement, and a retiring judge. Even with all of that, you were able to create a large six-figure settlement for us, collecting money from all of the parties. You did an excellent job! Thank you!
