Fred and Justin were there for me from the very beginning to the end. They made sure that I had no worries while I was recovering from my injuries and helped me along the way. Every question that I asked was answered truthfully. They made me feel like family and even after my settlement they have kept in contact with me. I have even referred Fred and Justin to a few friends that had positive results in their cases. These guys make you feel like family because they treat you like family.
