Christian has, along with his good nature and thoughtful regard, been exceedingly helpful with sorting out the complexities of our case. We could not be more pleased with our exchange. Thomas and Hema Easley

Christian was patient and easy to understand. clear, concise and thorough. he spoke “plain” English and was respectful. he did not “rush” and he responded to every question i had, in a timely manner. no matter how “dumb” it may have seemed. for example, i received some paperwork by mail and i did not understand it. i emailed him about it and he cleared it up that day. thats great customer service!
