5 / 5 stars
I have been using Pat Coyne, Brian Zink and Lorna Hubber for last 15 years. I have referred both friends and family. What I like most is they tell you what to expect through the whole process from criminal cases to family law and personal injury. If they tell you what they can do for you for your outcome, you can count on them and sometimes you get a better outcome then what was suggested. This is the only firm I will ever use as well as my family. If you use another firm you will be disappointed. My boyfriend got a speeding ticket and their rates were the lowest. And the court cost and fine was less than the speeding fine.
