    Brittany Furr helped my family when my brother got into some trouble. He was only 16 and we were very worried and had a lot of questions. Brittany Furr let us know what to expect and answered our questions. It was a long process and were glad that its over.

    I was recently arrested and hired Attorney Furr to represent me in the criminal proceedings. She did an excellent job and explained each and every step of the process to me. She was very trustworthy and was always there to answer any questions that I had. I would highly recommend hiring her for any criminal matter.

    David Steidle helped our family with some domestic matters. It went smoothly and quickly. The other parties were not on board at first, but the way that Mr. Steidle handled and presented our case, quickly brought everyone together. We make sure to recommend everyone to him. He has an outstanding record in fighting for you and what you need. He has no problem presenting your case in court as most attorney’s might want to settle ahead of time.
