Attorney clearly wanted to help and will do anything within her power to help me resolve my situation. Always helpful and friendly. I always feel as if they want to help instead of having to help. Attorney was very kind to explain every option and procedure. Now I know what to do and feel much safer with him being involved. Best thing that ever happened to me.
