Professional,competent and extremely passionate about your representation. GREAT CHOICE!

Mr Wisehart handled this case as if it was his own family member. WE were extremely impressed with his expertise and his dedication to pay attention to every detail and then some. He absolutely went above and beyond. He is very sharp and gave a sense of positivness throughout the whole process. The... end result proved to be very good, more than to be expected. I am so happy to have found him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
