6/02/2021 The firm has gone out of their way to make sure I was satisfied with their service. And they are doing a fantastic job! Thank you Brookshire Law. Binder Vegas
2/14/2021 I spoke with Shawn. He phoned exactly on the time assigned. He listened to me and gave a response that put my mind at ease. I have spoken to three other law offices in the past 7 or 8 years regarding my issue. At the present time I do not need legal action and when I do in the future, I will definitely be in touch with him. For the first time since this problem, I feel comfortable for the time being, at least. Thank you Shawn. Rosalind Ledson
