LOVE AN ATTORNEY
Usually, attorneys are only needed when there is a problem and rarely is a person happy during difficult times. The most logical person to direct misplaced anger is the attorney. Though don't hate us, for the most part, attorneys just wish to help their clients through a difficult time, or better yet, avoid a dispute.
If you can't learn to love us, then you may just find that you may like us. Call us for a free Initial Consulation.
