This Operation, which began in 2006, is a 10-hour initiative designed to keep driving safer through greatly increasing police presence along the interstates. […]
MorePeople never cease to amaze me. A guy in Canada thought it would be cool to record the below video while flying along on his motorcycle.

I recommend Andrew without any reservations. It was evident during our initial consultation over the phone, that I was dealing with a great lawyer. I think one of his biggest strengths is his mediation skills...
Everything involved with my case was handled in a professional and timely matter, I couldn’t be happier with the entire process and its outcome.
