“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. ”
I have consulted FFP about a couple situations where I was unsure if I needed to hire an attorney or not. Paul and JR took the time and effort to answer all of my questions thoroughly and completely and assured me that if I had any more questions that I could call them anytime in the future. I highly recommend FFP for all your personal injury needs and more! Thank you for being so awesome!!
