"I couldn't ask for a better experience.
I found myself, dealing with an insurance company that was at the very least, "difficult" to deal with. From pushing them along, early on in the claim, to pay out my truck it was totaled, to the end were they were able to secure me a sizable settlement for my injuries. If you want a lawyer that will make you feel like what's going on matters, and do everything they can to help you, may that be with money or treatments for injuries, I would say CALL ..Kevin Roach. I promise you won't regret it."
