"Will was referred to me by a trusted colleague to help me and my company in a significant non-compete and wage dispute. He found a small hole in the non-compete: the absence of one word. I read the contract countless times and never noticed it, but he did. While I could go on about the professionalism, expertise, consistency, and efficiency of the attorneys at Cantrell Duarte, it is their ability to identify what is significant, and their ability to use and defend it, that is most impressive. My company now uses them regularly to reduce legal risks. Cantrell Duarte is the first and last firm I recommend. -President of Tampa-Based Insurance Company"
