This review is long over do. Mr. Zoecklein is a great attorney. Every time I have some sort of issue he talks about what we are facing and what my options are. I walk into his office extremely anxious and always walk out confident that things will work out. It almost feels like going to your dad for help (also, he is not judgmental and extremely calm). The front desk staff is also great too. They are very responsive to emails and always answer the phone. They are consistent and always take initiative. All-in-all great law group. I will continue coming here and will definitely refer others. – J. A.
