I was given Brian Hall to assist me along with a private organization to help fight against an animal rescue that refused to step up to the plate and take care of their dog. Brian was on top of everything. The replies were immediate. The paperwork to move things forward in an appropriate fashion transpired without a hitch. If you are ever in need for a lawyer who is there for you in every step of the way, including taking the time on the weekends to make sure he is doing everything possible to help, this is your man. Much gratitude and we thank you.
