"Patrick Markey came highly recommended and I was not let down. Don't let his quiet phone demeanor fool you - Patrick is "on." He is thorough, competent, straightforward, expeditious and he is personally accessible via phone or email. If Patrick was inaccessible, one of his staff would respond promptly. No waiting days or even hours for a return call or email response. All this personal attention and reasonable to boot! In the future, I will not even hesitate to contact Patrick again for his expertise in law and procedure."
