My condolences to the entire family. I am one of his clients and I was trying to call him cuz I have another client that needs some legal advice and possibly representation and I couldn't get through and it's so happens when I pulled up the office I saw the obituary. He was outstanding very caring he worked with me on a few different cases and what I loved about him is he never gave up he was all for the client. God bless he's in a great place right now.
