TESTIMONIALS

Shanna Bever

Shanna Bever, widow of helicopter victim

When I lost a loved one, no one could ever prepare me for the challenges I faced next.

The team at Tieman, Spencer & Hicks understood they couldn’t change the past, but they worked hard for me and stayed by my side in every decision, big and small, making sure I took the next steps correctly. Most importantly, they represented myself with respect, won my case, and did the best they could at helping ease my troubles moving forward.”
