I have always said, the legal awards and honors that our attorneys receive are a lot more meaningful and rewarding because of what they represent. We believe in putting clients first, stressing communication and dignity, and knowing that if you put in the work and time on cases, that the results you achieve will lead to the best settlements and verdict results. That is what all of these legal awards and honors that we receive reflect.”
Gursten continued, “It is especially gratifying to see Kevin H. Seiferheld selected for inclusion in the Best Lawyers in America 2021, as well as Jordan M. Jones named in the 2021 Edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch.
