Hired Attorney

Stay away if you want true legal representation Unprofessional, to say the least John, with the greasy hair was rejected as a Real Housewife member and is more of a used car salesman. The embodiment of White Privilege and supremacy. Their revenue comes from suing their own clients after they have tanked your case.
