Michael and his team were terrific. From the get go, I knew they were competent. From my very first conversation, he captured everything in surprising detail and summarized it in it’s entirety for filing our case. I was worried about things that might not be captured in just a phone conversation, but that was not the case here. Everything was done in a very professional and timely manner and I was constantly updated as to status and next steps etc and my input was always taken and any concerns addressed promptly. Very accessible and responsive all through the process. We took on one of the “Big Guns” and came out with a quick/fast/satisfactory resolution! Overall Excellent Service and satisfied client!
