Tim was excellent to work with during a difficult accident case.

I was reluctant to deal with lawyers and suing for my injury. Would have settled myself if I’d been offered the cost of my care, but I was put off. My son, who had previously used this firm took me to see them. They pursued avenues for recovery that I never thought of and settled for far, far more than I ever dreamed. They are well worth the time. Kyle McGann was professional and kind.

Was involved in a serious car accident and broke my neck. My family reached out to this firm and they immediately went to work. If you want someone who has your best interests in mind then look no further. In all honesty I did nothing, they worked hard and handled absolutely everything. And the end result was much better than I could’ve hoped for.
