Lisa did settle a family law matter, which I respect, but.....once our house sold, it took 5 months to receive the complete amount owing to me..... after excuse upon excuse....the book keeper did not see my note, the book keeper could not find the trust account cheque book, the book keeper was sick, the book keeper did not come in, I feel this is poor buisness, if you want 5 stars, you must do all you can to succeed, and after discussing with the assistant on the phone, I was very calm but with known frustration, she hangs up on me.......... I do not recommend this business at all, there are many
