Workers Compensation, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and Family Medical
Leave Act,” MICPEL, 1997 and “Drafting Employment Documents.” MICPEL,

I had used Mister Ballew in the past on one occasion. He was highly recommended by a friend. On both jobs, Craig did exceptional work. I heartily endorse him.
