Our Attorneys


"I decided to become an attorney the day I sat in the back of a courtroom. Young, naive and scared, I wondered if my life was over. My attorney didn't tell me what was going on; he even joked with the other side and left me hanging while he went fishing. I never forgot what it felt like. And I never allow an attorney to treat my clients that way."
-- James Heiting
