Mr.Rowland is a shark!! I have used Mr.Rowland on more than a couple occasions and refer him to everyone. I was very unsure of the whole process of court and was very nervous/scared, Mr. Rowland is an extremely confident man who carries himself with pride and respect while being very personable. He knows his work very well and does an amazing job.
