"I was very pleased with my experience. [Timothy Note] was able to help me resolve my issue in an excellent, timely fashion, and with a favorable outcome. Both Tim and his associate Jake Smith were very professional, as was their legal assistant Hayley. The entire team communicated with me regularly and promptly, and the fees charged were very fair. Would definitely recommend!"

"Brendan is by far the most thorough and knowledgeable attorney. I never had to call him and ask him about the case, he always kept me up to date and really cared. Brendan would always ask me what my opinion was and get my view of it so we could formulate a plan. Very down to earth and has your back."

"Jake Smith is phenomenal. Seriously can't recommend him enough. He is intelligent, articulate, and extremely thorough. He demonstrated a great amount of patience as he assisted with my case and I felt that he really cared about the case and the outcome for the case."
