My name is Yolanda. When I sat down with them they treated me like family. I had Alex and Cathy. As long as I had them I still don't know Cathy's last name. They showed compassion and understanding. The young ladies in the front always had a smile. How I knew I had the right Law Firm is whenever I came to the office they knew my name. That meant EVERYTHING to me. Thank you for your kindness and love.
