Total Professionals and treated me and my mother like we were family and still do! Made the right choice in hiring them back in October 2012 to represent me in my 3 year Workers Comp case. They understood my situation and the hard time I was going through taking care of a sick mother and also trying to heal up from my three reconstructive knee surgeries. They took care of everything and took the stress off me so I could concentrate on helping my mother. William, Carl, Kathy, Angie and the whole staff went above and beyond my expectations to take care of me. And still do to this day.
