Testimonials
Been using them for years! Always there to help when I needed it.
I had/have both! I used Mr. Lacovara 20+ years ago. I currently use them both and I can’t say enough good things about them. Each case has it’s own issues, delays, good things, not so good things happen along the way, so settlement varies greatly. All I can tell you is to communicate any questions…
