I am forever grateful to Mr. Pulliam for how he handled my father’s personal injury case as a result of an auto accident. His compassion for his clients and his professionalism in handling the difficult issues of this case were just a few things that stood out to me.

The empathy he showed and his willingness to listen from day one of my dad’s case were so reassuring to us at a time of agonizing pain and worry. He did everything in his power to ensure the true details of the car wreck prevailed and the correct guilty party was exposed. Huge thanks to Jennifer Maughon who also made this difficult process a bit easier for me and my family by keeping us updated and making sure all documents needed were timely submitted. I would highly recommend Pulliam Law Group to anyone involved in a personal injury case.

Pulliam law group is not like your ordinary law firm, to me I felt like I was dealing with family. Seriously anyone wanting to be taken care of especially in times of medical need and mental support these are your go to group!

I know these people on first name basis, well Brian and Jenifer and not once did I feel like they didn't have my best interest at heart. I have dealt with other law firms and hated dealing with different people every time I called, Pulliam Law group this was/is not the case. I know more people were involved on my case but I didn't get the pleasure to meet them, and getting one on one care like this allows them to better represent you and your needs. Thanks Pulliam law group, from beging to end you exceeded my expectations going above and beyond what I expected and ever thought possible! Oh and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!!!
