Best lawyers in town.

Daniel

All the lawyers at this firm are top notch, care for their clients and are professional in the courtroom. All the attorneys work together, so if one is not available they have someone familiar with your case most of the time who is able to answer a question. Been with this firm for more than 20 years and they have always done a fantastic job for my family in estate matters and legal issues with our business.

Margie M.

We have used Sheila Woodward, Steve Huff, and Nick Moser in this office. They are all very well informed, personable and easy to work with. Sheila has helped us with our estate planning documents, and Steve and Nick have helped us in our residential rental business. I would recommend all of them.
