Review Meghan Behrens

Professional and considerate

Posted by ErinFri Dec 22 2017

Meghan was professional and considerate towards me throughout all of our interactions. She made time to return my many calls and emails, and advised me with kindness and compassion every step of the way. I highly recommend her based on her experience, humanity and excellence at what she does. I would request her services again, but hope I never have to.

Meghan went out of her way to help us. She was alway quick to respond. I felt totally at easy handing over our case from thousands of miles away.
