James was super helpful. Explained everything clearly to me. As a new home buyer there was a lot I didn't know. He helped me understand everything and broke it down just perfectly! Thank you!

This place is awful and takes huge advantage of seniors. DO NOT USE THEM. We had Katherine Gillies do up a power of attorney and medical proxy for my parents and they charged them $1500. For what? This is taking advantage of seniors. We know many other seniors that have had the same thing done for $350 to $400 . I don't understand how they can get away with this.
