Michael went above and beyond –her professionalism and service was exceptional. Efficiency is important to me…it was quite impressive how quickly he assessed and resolved each issue.

Divorce mediation service requested — totally exceed our expectations. Ms. McKinnon politely raised and resolved issues we did not even think of beforehand … and no additional charge — our final bill slightly under the projected time and cost.

Highly recommend. Thank you Michael!
