we have had some great client feedback!
I have dealt with Mike on three occasions. I keep going back to him because I trust him and the advice he gives. Mike is always friendly and accommodating, extremely prompt with information, and returns my calls quickly. He is flexible to meet with you wherever and whenever it suits you or if you prefer email or phone communication he adapts to your needs. He is never pushy and has your best interests at heart. Keep up the good work Mike!
