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.

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.
