What an awesome injury team to represent me….Todd Julian, Bucky Slomski & Cindy Messner! They were amazing to work with and their knowledge, expertise and professionalism was above and beyond.
I interviewed a few other outside lawyers but none were like Todd and team. I felt totally at ease and there was no pressure to ‘sign on the dotted line immediately’ with them.

Todd and team did an excellent job on my behalf and I am very appreciative of their services. I highly recommend you give them a chance to represent you! You won’t be disappointed. Great job!
