I've just worked alongside with lawyer, Robert Finlay, and have been impressed start to finish at his careful consideration of how to best serve our mutual client and his ongoing communication. Robert was in touch with us constantly and quick to respond so we could all navigate our respective roles for the gentleman we were working for. I hope to work with Robert again and I can confidently refer him in the future. the future.

Sarando Matheos was my lawyer for my LTD case. I had unjustly been denied coverage from my insurance carrier. Sarando worked hard to help me remedy my situation. His experience, knowledge and tenacity were paramount in helping me receive the settlement I deserved. Couldn't have done it without his help. Highly recommend them!
