Verified ClientConsulted Law firm 2019I added a poor review back in February due to the misfortune of catching either a rude staff member or one having a bad day, Either way I am unable to remove the initial review that I left so I wanted to go ahead and add a follow up review to say that I had someone reach out from this law firm and offer his apologies and assistance to me and he took his time letting me know that the concern I had was addressed. I appreciate them taking the time to make things right and for that I feel this law firm definitely was misjudged by me back in February.
