Mr Steven Cole took my wife's case after I had been denied by other law firms. He had a small window of time to get everything he needed to take the case and man did he deliver. Very professional and kept us in the loop every step of the way. I would highly recommend this law firm for your personal injury or insurance case. I can't thank Mr Cole enough.
Steven Cole is a awesome attorney. He understands how my husband & I felt after our accident. He took care of the legal part while we were going through our surgeries & recovery. I felt good to know he had our backs and still does. Very pleased and satisfied.
