Bernard, Lance and Dave have been quick, thorough and most importantly honest throughout a fairly stressful situation. They came out fast on a Sunday during an emergency, and gave timelines that they met comfortably. Couldn’t recommend them more, and I’ll be keeping their numbers close if anything else happens.
