Why be treated like a number at a large law firm?

“I have had the pleasure of working with both Tom Locke and Zach Witte for my personal and business legal work in the past. I can tell you without a doubt using a general practice is BY FAR the easiest, most cost effective, and pleasurable way of handling your legal needs.

They both took the time to sit down, listen, and understand my needs and then worked directly on my case to make sure everything was handled correctly from start to finish. I wasn’t passed around to an associate that had no idea who I was, or what I needed. I could always know who was working on my file if I had questions, and that made everything move fast and easy. I also know that if I have questions down the road, I know who to call and that the person that I am going to be talking with knows me and my file.”
