A thanks and Kudos to my lawyer

No doubt she is both smart and an able court defender/presenter, when it comes to homeownership association property covenants. As we look back, we can make the case that my normal MO which is to stay on-top of things and put strong thinking into a situation before acting, caused me to give her on...ly an average rating on "keep me informed". I was stung by 2 previous "in-effective counsels" so at this point I would rate her a 'Good and not an average" rating. Furthermore, she is sincere and smiles easily - a real plus for both me and my wife, Fran.
