She admitted she had not done a case like mine, but I was happy that she took it after getting the case facts. She made sure I understood the results that I was asking for, and what it could not do for me. She did her research promptly, filed the documents accordingly, and secured a hearing date. She even sent a reminder before the date. I am very happy with Chitra's successful work, and I would recommend her based on her performance.
