				Les Little and his Dugas & Circelle, PLLC team, especially Naomi Madruga who keeps him straight, are my go to legal team when I get stiff armed by an insurance company with a underdeveloped vocabulary that has never grown beyond the word "NO". After a hail storm busted up 2 commercial roofs to such a point that we had material damage after each rain yet the insurance company continued to refuse to pay on the claim, Les and his team pursued a successful resolve by methodically gathering the proof necessary to negotiate a fair settlement. This is a diligent firm that stands by their word, holds others to the law and professionally took care of all the details so I could continue to run my business knowing the legal side was 100% covered. Can't say enough here to express my sincere gratitude for a job well done! I highly recommend this firm with out reservation.Steve Prentice, CEO Reid Manufacturing, LLC

				I cannot say enough good things about this law firm. They have consistently demonstrated integrity, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to their clients. They are fair, honest, and always put the policyholder's best interests first.What I appreciate most is that they take the time to explain the process, communicate clearly, and provide sound advice you can trust. Their knowledge and experience are evident in every interaction, but it's their dedication to doing what is right that truly sets them apart.I have complete trust and respect for this team and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing representation. If you're looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about its clients and stands behind them every step of the way, this is the firm to call. Highly recommended

				We just recently finalized a arduous insurance suit. Attorney Les Little and Noemi Madruga were always readily accessible helping us feel fully supported throughout the entire process. During this time period of nearly 2 years, we exchanged quite a few emails and phone calls. If Les was unavailable, Noemi was prompt with guidance and often prepared us for what to expect next. Always, without fail, Noemi fully explained the confusing processes so that we were able to make the most effective use of our time with Les. Both make a great team and I am grateful for their patience, ENCOURAGEMENT, and calming influence during a very stressful time. THANK YOU to LES and NOEMI !!

He took the time to listen to my situation, explain the process, and answer my questions in a way that was easy to understand.What stood out most was his professionalism and willingness to provide straightforward information without making me feel pressured. It's clear that he knows the insurance claim process well and genuinely cares about helping people understand their options.If you're dealing with an insurance-related issue and need someone knowledgeable to speak with, Preston is definitely worth a call.

				Mike Abernathy and the team at Dugas & Circelli are absolute professionals!I had a significant hail damage claim and from the very first call Mike took charge with confidence and expertise. He explained every step clearly, kept me updated throughout the entire process, and fought hard to get me the best possible settlement. The level of professionalism, communication, and results was outstanding. If you have an insurance claim (especially hail), these are the attorneys you want on your side. Highly recommend — 10/10!

				Preston Dugas is a very knowledgable and experienced lawyer in his field of law. He has great insight and instincts regarding opposing counsels and juries and how they will react to various situations. He communicates clearly and will provide you with specific advice regarding your case. He did a great job of negotiating my case which resulted in a large settlement. I will not only hire him for future work, I will ask his opinion regarding other lawyers in other areas of law. You will like this guy!
