I can tell you that Gwen takes an enormous amount of pride in her work, she is very detail oriented, and she is extremely passionate about what she does. Most importantly, Gwen will give you her full attention and focus. Gwen is hands-down the best attorney that I have ever worked with. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an excellent passionate attorney that is extremely detail oriented."
