Client Testimonial: "I was in a head-on collision on July 15, 2012 and I needed money to help with my recovery. I looked on the Internet trying to find lawyers and I met a lot of lawyers who I didn't like and who really didn't really care about whether I was okay or not. It seemed as if they were just looking to make a quick buck. But then I called this firm and spoke to Rick. He's a great guy. He actually seemed to care, honestly care, about my well-being, and not just about the money. I was thrilled that I went to this law firm to help me out with my case." Client Testimonial: "I was represented by Randy Appleton. He handled my car accident case professionally and kept me informed throughout the process. I appreciate the fact that Randy explained everything and if I ever had a question, he had the answer. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case and would definitely refer friends and family to Randy's firm."

    Kevin was recommended to us to serve as local counsel on a major case. He ended up being one of the top 5 or certainly 10 lawyers I have ever worked with. He is detailed, sharp, and keeps his eye on the ball. Great person too.
