“The Choice of a Lawyer Is An Important Decision and Should Not Be Based Solely Upon Advertisements. Past Results Afford No Guarantee of Future Results. Every Case is Different And Must Be Judged On Its Own Merits. Past Results are Good Indicators for the Types of Cases a Law Firm has Handled Through Conclusion.”
