"Chris stuck by us."
Chris was the lawyer that really worked on the case. He kept us informed. He didn’t misstep. He didn’t do things to the point where we didn’t know what he was doing. I was adamant about him speaking to my brother-in-law, and Chris Colley explained to me that he was going to handle it in a way that made my brother-in-law comfortable. Chris kept his promise and I appreciate that a lot.
