"My experience was very pleasant with them, they take care of me, they explained to me everything from point A to point Z. When I walked in and they treated me, you know, awesome. You know they gave me every sense of urgency behind the case that I was developing. I was afraid that I will lose my current job, you know, they gave me that peace of mind that I really needed."
