The firm is now offering foreclosure, litigation, bankruptcy, evictions, and collections services across these states, along with Texas, Colorado, Georgia, California, Arizona, and Nevada.

We are obviously excited and will continue to strategically grow to accommodate our clients’ needs in the future,” said Robert D.
