They even helped me figure out which parts I could do my

How many of us need a Lawyer. For the most part, not many of us. Many of us will never need one. Well, if that day comes, I would 100 percent recommend Stan Butterfield. You can't find a better person. Honesty, integrity, trust worthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courtesy, kind. These are just a few words I would use to describe Stan. He will do whatever it takes to help you and your family. If I could give him ten stars, I would. Highy recommended. Don't hesitate to call him.
