Judith Piper

My Attorney was Schierer. He came to my work to intaly meet after my car wreck. He instantly told me what coverage to always carry. Then he broke down the process. He made it understandable. His team reached out to me on every important decision. They were a great team to have helped me out after my accident. I would hope to not have to use an attorney for anything again. But if I needed one I would definitely recommend and use My attorney Schierer.
