Testimonials
Thank you all so much!!
Brenda A.Brent, Thank you for all of your help in this matter! Thank you for your diligence in “going to bat” for me. I started this journey 3 years and 10 months ago when Mom died. I had a dear friend tell me at that time, “The Lord will go to battle on your behalf”. I clung to His promises and He has delivered. He specifically put your firm into my line of vision to help in this cause. I had already called 4 other attorneys but no one could help. I choose to believe that it was by the hand of my Almighty God, that He did every bit of this for me and my brother. You were used as vessels to help me finally have closure. Thank you!
