Testimonials

I often retain the attorneys at Durham, Pittard & Spalding for specific research and briefing projects and for co-counsel arrangements on complex personal injury cases.  They bring an insight to the case with an eye towards a potential appeal that ultimately adds value to the case by positioning the case for an appeal or by avoiding an appeal altogether.  I definitely would recommend them to other trial attorneys for litigation support at the trial level as well as for handling cases on appeal.
