Rob Livingston helped my mom with her personal injury claim. He was amazing throughout the long process! He kept in constant contact to let us know the status of the claim, gave us reasonable expectations, and his expertise in knowing how to handle everything the insurance company was going to do was second to none! I thank the lord everyday that my mom found his office! Would recommend him without question!

We had a very complex situation with our dad’s estate. We had several legal hurdles to clear before we could sell the home and divide the proceeds between the heirs. Zach counseled and assisted us every step of the way. He was accessible and he and his staff were supportive, knowledgeable and professional. He was conscientious about his work. He earned our trust and gave us peace of mind in a very difficult time.
