Jared Anderson found out I was having issues getting my case finished and that I was upset. He took time out of his day, which is not easy for an attorney to do with all the clients they have, and he looked in to my case to help me get relief and understand where it is at and why it has had no progress. I would recommend Anderson as an attorney to anyone he cares about you as a person. I wish I would have started out with Anderson he makes it worth the money spent.
