I am very happy with the representation I received from this firm. Not only were they fairly priced, they kept me in the loop at every step of my case, and I got a far better outcome than I would have gotten had I tried to represent myself. If you need legal representation I highly recommend calling Richard Blevins.

Richard Blevins is your guy. He is not only a highly skilled attorney who provides excellent advice and guidance, but he has calm and assuring demeanor that makes you feel comfortable throughout the process. He assisted me with my case and it couldn’t have gone any better! I had a ton of questions upfront and apprehension about the process and potential outcomes, and Richard walked me through what to expect step by step. At a critical point, he told me my options, and then provided his recommendation. I took that recommendation, and it ended up being 100% the best decision! Actually, it was the second best decision… the best was hiring Richard Blevins to begin with.
