Does not honor fiduciary duty

Howard Metro has engaged in many questionable practices ,mismanagement of funds and over billing. We also have filed a complaint with the Maryland Bar because he does not honor his fiduciary duty.

McMillan, Metro is top in their class

M/M has handled 5 of my 7 transactions and all of my personal will/trust/investment work. They are professional, thorough and complete. I cannot give them a higher recommendation.
