They were both honest and attentive during this unprecedented time. Jeff took time out personally to speak with me not just about my case but my family as well. I never felt like I was actually speaking to an attorney, which speaks volumes when attorneys are involved. Norm also added a warm touch, sending my family masks and checking in on us from time to time just to touch base on how my husband was doing. Our case was resolved, and we are better for it thanks to Jeff and Norm.” – Tiffany S.
