A PASSION FOR JUSTICE FUELED BY DISCIPLINE AND DETERMINATION

I had a great experience with this law firm! Attorney Blaze Schwartz was extremely helpful and also really good at communicating. The rest of the staff is also super friendly and helped get me through my case and in the end attorney Van Dingenen was able to get the insurance company to pay more money than they wanted to. I'm really happy that I chose this firm.

If anyone needs a lawyer to represent them, this who you should call. Bigger firms just don't do it. Thank you.
