Hired Attorney Daniel Rusk

Mr. Rusk has called me from home and given me his home number to call him during a particularly worrisome time. Additionally, his staff has been extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I have worked with him for a number of years and would not consider changing counsel.
