Kevin Green Bay
I was in an automobile accident in December 2013 and a family friend recommended I contact Attorney Ralph Tease. Best advice I was given! Ralph and his staff made the process of paying medical bills and keeping track of everything extremely easy to handle as they took care of this, while I took care of my rehabilitation. Ralph continually communicated with me throughout the process. Ralph has a very compassionate nature about him, and although soft spoken is very knowledgeable and thorough. I’m extremely pleased with the settlement he was able to obtain for me without having to go to court. I’m grateful to him beyond words.
Rita Green Bay
Ralph was wonderful to work with. As it turned out, my case took a number of years to settle and he did his best to keep me informed along the way. He always took the time to explain the details of the process I needed to go through and gave me a realistic assessment of the facts and value of my case. Ralph is very courteous and respectful.
