“I called upon Brian Roark in my time of need, and I am thankful that I did. He is thoughtful, intelligent, strategic, and very experienced. He put his talents to work quickly and took time to fully and deeply understand the facts of my situation. He then went to work to develop a comprehensive analysis of the law and solid arguments from which he could advocate for me. He then went to work in the courtroom to thoughtfully present "our" case. In the end, Brian ensured that justice was served fairly. I hope that I will never have to call on him for help again but I am glad to know he is there. I am thankful to have made his friendship during this ordeal. I recommend him highly.” - George C.
