Mr. Palmour was there when I REALLY NEEDED HELP!

Posted by anonymousSun Oct 02 2016

Mr. Palmour was very straightforward and got me to see the light. I need the direction and someone to stand up for me in a really bad situation. He found out things I didn't even know about that my ex had hidden from me! Thank you!
