"We were referred to Nace Law Group by another attorney out of state. At the very beginning, we felt that they were informative and family oriented, which was important to us. They walked us through the process and were very understanding of our needs. We felt comfortable with them. We would recommend the firm to other families in the future."

~ Cynthia Peter

"Another attorney referred us to Nace Law Group. Chris had us very involved throughout the entire process. He took the time to run everything by us and asked us for our input. He was very prompt and wrapped things up in a timely manner. There was never a point where he was not reachable. I would highly recommend the firm to others."

Chris Nace was fantastic. I was clueless about what my rights were after an injury, and he explained every step of the process. The firm took care of everything right up through the settlement! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ [Google Review]
