“- Keron S.
Wesley Hisaw has represented me with my post divorce modification as well as a faultless MVA case. Divorce is never easy, but mine was exceptionally complicated and sensitive in nature. I was let down by my previous attorney and my trust in legal representation was broken. After my first consult with him, I walked out of his office with confidence in my case. I felt I was exactly where I needed to be and genuinely trusted he would help me, which he did! He is worth every penny and highly recommend! He has ALWAYS been there when I needed his legal guidance and support, extremely responsive and his assurance has never failed me!
