Tory and Rachel kept me in loop the entire case and the end result was a diversion of my charges. They did a great job and I really will appreciate the two of them for a long time.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We are very lucky to have Tory and Rachel at our law firm!

After researching events of refused coverage by USCCA (I should have read the fine print to begin with), who obviously has decided they're judge and jury, and want's you to pay them back if you loose your case, I dumped them and happy to be here instead. People please beware of USCCA.

Our team is committed to providing reliable and trustworthy services to our members, and we are pleased to hear we have earned your confidence and trust.
