Needed to have a document commissioned last minute and the firm was very accommodating and squeezed me in for an appointment with Terry. He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny and incredibly kind. Price was transparent and fair. I didn't catch the name of the person at reception but he was very welcoming and nice as well.
