Diligent attorney

Mr Poltielov was reasonable, kind, and respectful . Anytime I had an inquiry he made sure to be diligent and stay on top of things. He worked with me through out the entire process and was an expert in this field . He made sure to accommodate his schedule not only to meet with him for whatever neede...d to be processed, but also if I had to have any discussions with him or concerns with the bank.
