I can’t reiterate enough how happy I was that I consulted Nikita and Lauren. The support I received especially during a time like this was invaluable and for that I truly appreciate all the work that went into your advice. You were both professional, realistic and understood exactly what I needed/wanted and where I wanted to take this matter. One again thank you for your support.
