Client Testimonials

Troy probably is one of the best people I've met in my life, as well as an extremely sharp lawyer. I have to admit, being a doctor, we're a little skeptical of lawyers in general, and probably he was of us. Due partly to his skill, we fought my case all the way to trial and won a unanimous jury verdict. It was one of the more trying episodes of my life, and I owe him a lot. I don't have a lot of other experience with lawyers, but this experience has made me understand how valuable having a good one on your side in a time of trouble can be.
