I really thought a lot of him and his work until I used him in my disability case. Not only did I lose my case but I lost it only due to his poor handy work.he didn't even have all my profiles from my doctors. He left out my psychiatric files and I had 2 surgeries with in 4 months of my denial that he never sent to the ssi board. I think he needs to lose his license

Very friendly and if you didn't pay your fines then they will put the handcuffs on you and walk you next door to the sheriff's office and give you a free ride to Leslie County jail and pay or stay on the fines. They take $50 a day off your fines each day you stay in jail.
