Atticus is the BEST attorney who will work hard to get you the best results... It was us against a huge company who had their top attorneys fighting to make sure we got the lowest settlement . Our first attorney told us to settle and that we would NEVER win against them. We were referred to Atticus by a mom on my sons high school baseball team and I reached out to him. He was heaven sent and Atticus and his team fought for us to make sure we got everything that was owed to us. Atticus’ hard work and knowledge of the legal system made the difference in securing us a huge settlement! His hard work and determination changed our lives forever as we are financially secure for life! Don’t waste your time looking for injury attorneys on the internet or TV. Call Atticus for EXCELLENT representation. You will be glad you did!!!! Sincerely, Carlos B., RN, BSN
