To whom it may concern. I have been using BROWN BRADSHAW MOFFAT and Ann Marie Taliaferro for the past year. I have found them to be very efficient and quick to respond to my questions and specific needs and they are great communicating in court with judges and prosecutors and are always thinking about their clients and especially thinking OUT OF THE BOX, I highly recommend using this firm right on the money.
