Emory and Susan Bellard

West, you have been just great to work with and Emory and I respect you and your handling of matters. Please know, we would call you again without any hesitation and we feel honored to have had the privilege of having had you represent us. You have a rare innate gift that gives you a perspective for the handling of conflict resolution. This is no easy task and must rely on special talents and you definitely have same.

Thank you again West, and if there is ever anything that we could do for you or your firm, do not hesitate to call on us.

When I received a demand letter almost two years ago, I knew that I would need the help of a good lawyer to guide me. I am grateful that West Short was highly recommended because he has adeptly counseled me through the twists and turns of my case. Not only has he proven himself to be knowledgeable and wise, but he has also educated me along the way and helped to keep my anxieties in check with his calm, understanding manner and sound advice. Should the need for legal assistance ever arise again in the future, I will not hesitate to contact West Short.

Jerry Fye and Brenda Davis

When we were threatened with litigation we contacted West because of the strong recommendation of friends he'd helped in the past. At our first meeting we felt we were in the best possible hands for what was a very trying situation that we'd never experienced before. We were reassured by West's grasp of the situation and his insight as to the subtleties. West and his staff guided us through the process, addressing our concerns and balancing our expectations -- real but hopeful.

As the process unfolded we learned that we had, by far, the best representation in the dispute. I believe that everyone in the room was impressed at West's extraordinary understanding, thoroughness, and articulation of our position.

We are very happy with the outcome of this dispute, and believe that our expectations were tuned to a realistic outcome. We know that West took our case personally. The best outcome is knowing that we have West as a resource for anything that might threaten us in the future.
