BradleyExcellent Legal Representation and Counsel for Residential Home Buying
My husband and I found Brutlag, Hartmann & Trucke through Avvo as we were relocating from out of state and were purchasing a home without the use of a realtor. We strongly recommend Matt for multiple reasons. First, he provided sound advice on ensuring the title was free and clear and there would be no issues prior to us getting too far into the process.
