Chase Boltz
Firm Mascot
Chase is an integral part of Russ E. Boltz, PC, and no,
we're not kidding. He's an example of traits we value:
Loyalty. Strength. Fierceness when challenged.
Gentleness with friends. Intelligence, tenacity and
insistence on the best. And, yes, being a bit judgmental,
when needed. His nickname - "The Incredible Rocket
Dog" - speaks to the speed and singleness of purpose
he inspires in us for our clients. When you visit our
offices, he won't mind if you reach in the 'treats' jar for a
snack, either! For him, that is.
