🌟PDL PUP SPOTLIGHT🌟

This is Specks! If you ever have to visit our office in person, you may be approached by this sweet softy asking for belly rubs! Or you may hear him bark (our security system) in the background on a phone call. Specks comes in to give us a pup break when we need a boost of morale on a busy day!

🌟EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT🌟

Mariesha is one of our administrative assistants. She may answer your phone call, complete an intake with you, or answer questions about your claim. Before coming to PDL, Mariesha worked in another law office (so she knows the ropes). When she isn't providing excellent customer service at PDL, she enjoys watching the Lakers, taking time for self-care, a good date night (and sneaking away to grocery shopping alone!)

Show Mariesha some love!
