My wife and I were in the process of being sued and I saw no way out. I went into Phillips Ballenger and spoke with Tiffany Ballanger she spent time researching our situation prior to meeting and answering my multitude of questions. When I left I felt like I had a full understanding of what to expect from an asset protection prospective and a likely course of the lawsuit. It was a huge relief just knowing what to expect. Now, almost a year later, our suit has ended successfully and Tiffany's advice proved to be sound. I can highly recommend her.
