"Great work, would hire again"
"Vincent did a great job did everything I asked for and more. I highly recommend him."
"Vincent was very helpful with my situation. Very well detailed and accurate!"
"Was super easy to work with and a great communicator overall!! :)"
"Vincent was incredibly helpful with my investor visa. He guided me through setting up my business, organizing the necessary documents, and went above and beyond in assisting with housing logistics and picking up the actual visa. His communication was consistently clear and responsive, and I really appreciated how steady and reassuring he was at every step."
"Vincent was incredibly thoughtful and strategic when helping me navigate a tricky visa-related lease issue as an international tenant. What felt overwhelming at first quickly became manageable thanks to how clearly he broke things down and laid out the next steps. He didn’t just review the contract, he helped me understand it, and even supported me in drafting emails to my landlord that I otherwise wouldn’t have known how to word. His support genuinely made a stressful situation feel a lot more under control."
