I apologize it’s taken me so long to express my gratitude for always hanging in here with me. I appreciate everything you’ve done – every thought, and all your professionalism. You know I think this is the greatest law firm in the world. Money is not everything for me – I am satisfied with what I received…I will always refer anyone I know that has had a work related injury to this firm – you betta believe it too! Ya’ll keep on doing what you are doing, cuz people need you! I did many times because I just wasn’t comfortable with any one after my shoulders got jacked up like they did, cause my career in law enforcement was over. At the first meeting after I broke down and cried Mr. T just understood it all. Thank you both so much for everything you’ve done for me. And I love ya both very much.
