Wishert, Coby D.

"My clients know that I am their dedicated advocate who has no fear of courtroom battle and will fight tirelessly for their causes. I genuinely care about their cases; so much so that I often lose sleep thinking about how to get them the best possible results. They also know that I care about them as people and about their businesses and I want to help them succeed." 

--Tom J. Manos

I love the law despite its flaws because it always at least tries to do the right thing.  Ever since I was a kid I've felt compelled to speak out against injustice and fight for what is right.  My job lets me do that every day and, perhaps, leave the world just a little better than I found it.
