5 Ken was my relentless advocate every step of the way

I was facing a life with a marked physical disability and unable to work, but things changed for the better the moment I called Ken Halperin. Ken was my relentless advocate every step of the way with his cool and calm personality. I can't thank Ken and everyone from Wingate Russotti and Shapiro enough because without all their hard work this settlement would have never gotten done.
