To whom it may concern,
I hired Brynne to represent me after my husband died in a work accident. She was extremely patient, understanding and caring! Her knowledge of the law and explaining everything to me was beyond my expectations. She really cared about my case. This case lasted almost 3 years and she was in constant contact with me the whole time. I would have never won my case without her and her staff. They are all very friendly and courteous! Brynne is a professional in everything she has done for me and my family. Can't thank her enough.
Sincerely, Holly R.
