Based on our most recent experience being defendants in a personal injury action, I feel compelled to write this review about our experience with MTB lawyers. To just write a rave review about what we saw inside the courtroom, would do injustice to the way Jeff Braun and Kendal Craver handled the case. Unfortunately, it is rare these days when you witness a true professional at work, and we witnessed exactly that, from the preparation to action Jeff was simply masterful inside the courtroom. It felt like we were watching a TV drama and the outcome was to match. Thank you, Jeff, for defending us and winning in such a dramatic fashion. It felt good to be in good hands and now feels even better to recommend your firm to everyone.
