U.S. Pizza Co.
Thirteen years ago, U.S. Pizza Co. was assigned WLJ as our attorney by our insurance company. The care we were given was so good that anytime I change insurance companies I make sure that WLJ is named in the policy if we need to be defended. We can call for advice anytime so it is like we have our own in-house counsel. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
