"Thank you"
"Tim quickly assessed our situation, got to the crux of our issues, and suggested strategy options with pros and cons. His letter writing on our behalf was masterful. The points and demands were clear, concise and the tone diplomatic yet forceful; a perfect blend of being general and specific at the same time. He is very responsive, quick with next steps, has an easy manner and is always professional. Highly recommend."
"Working with Tim was fast and easy. I needed several items handled and he did so quickly and with plenty of communication along the way to keep me updated on the status of things. With so many other things on my plate at the time, it was very helpful to have someone taking care of important items with competency and efficiency."
