"My name is Adam Cahn. Nearly 30 years ago, as a minor, I was the victim of a bad automobile accident. My family hired a solo attorney to sue on my behalf. My lawyer was a good man who always took our phone calls, talked to me like an adult and kept my family apprised of the case status. When he collected a substantial sum of money on my behalf, my family was thrilled. However, we were more impressed at the service this attorney provided. He was a gentleman, a professional and a friend."
