Chad Bernard's was very helpful in a civil case I had against a building contractor. Even though it was not a large monetary case Chad gave me his full attention and was always available for any questions I had. He was honest about the costs and realities of filing a law suit. Chad is very easy to work with and has a great sense of humor.
