Great advice on USCCA Ask an Attorney podcasts. You and Kevin are a regular part of my Saturday morning routine providing my regular dosage of what to do and not do. Thanks to you and your entire team.
Very knowledgeable. Appears to be a good Wisconsin boy. I pray I’ll never have to use him. Tom will certainly be my first call if I do.
