Thorough preperation wins the day

I have a neighbor in my HOA that was causing me problems. Complaining to my work about association issues reporting me to different agencies about things that never happened. In the end, I realized the only thing that would help was to get a Restraining Order. I took everything to Marcus and he loo...ked it over. Working together we prepared everything for the court and we came away with what I needed to have her stop bothering me. Marcus's dedication to doing a thorough job was great. I definitely felt he was there for me every step of the way.
