Mr. Lister is one-of-a-kind!
What fantastic attorney!
It is difficult to compose a review with such little space. He runs his office like what I call a 'well oiled machine'.
Mr. Lister is personable, friendly and organized. He corresponds with you in a timely manner. You are given information both verbally and via email regarding details of your case (above and beyond what you ask of him). Court case information is explained such that you are at ease when you enter the court room.
Every step of the process is explained and likely emailed to you so that you can read what you might have forgotten
