“It’s truly been a pleasure working with you and Brian Wassom. None of this would’ve been possible without your combined advocacy for our son, your attention to detail, and the way you both thoroughly prepared and guided him through everything. The presentation of the case and your deep understanding of defamation law were truly excellent—we are so pleased with the outcome.” – Rachel C.
