Very Disappointed
I could never get anyone to answer the phone. They publicized the firm as responding quickly but that was not the case.

Answered me very fast
Shanda Yates did answer me and discuss my case with me. We did not get together on my case, but it was of no fault of Ms Yates. She did an excellent job of advising me. I would seek council from her again if the occasion arose.
