Reviews for Talis
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.We would highly recommend Talis Abolins' services. Talis is a hard working, honest, dedicated attorney who went to great lengths to get the best possible settlement for our daughter. Talis quickly answered any questions we had during the process and took time to explain each step and every option we had available to us. Talis is very professional, yet takes a personal interest in his clients.
Mr. Abolins put me at ease during a very stressful Non Compete contract situation. He spoke to me in a "no nonsense" yet practical way that lifted the stress from my shoulders and empowered me in the proceedings.
Talis was very professional and thorough in representing our company. He was very knowledgeable about the law applicable to our case, and was always very responsive when I had questions. I would highly recommend Talis, and will certainly use him again if the need should ever arise.
Talis is extremely prompt and provides excellent service and attention to detail.
Talis and his team did a great job getting my account/case handled. I was in an accident and the other person's insurance didn't make it easy for them to make headway, but they stuck with it and ending up getting my case closed and got me a very favorable settlement. If you are in need of a lawyer who will put you first and get you a reasonable settlement Talis is your guy.
