Alicia [and her staff] were outstanding in the way they handled my case. They were quick to answer any questions I had regarding my right to even file a claim and were honest and always upfront about the legal processes associated with and utilized in my case. They were quick to respond to my calls. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney. (2023)
