His vision for how lawyers should perform has been passed down to Jeff and me. We are following in his footsteps and we are well progressed along that path.” — Lisa Galloway Monzo Excellent Legal Representation Available in Your Community When a legal problem drives you to seek a lawyer’s advice and representation, the attorneys’ knowledge of local rules and procedures is just as important as his or her general legal experience and record of success.
