I chose this law firm to represent me in placing a construction lien after Harvey. I can’t say enough good things about them. I got very good advice. The never rushed me or ignored my case, even though I know mine was a very small one in comparison to others they handle. The entire staff is incredibly helpful and professional. I would have been lost without them.
