I put off this work for ten years because I just didn’t know how to proceed. I’m stunned by how easy Michael made this process. During the course of one meeting I found myself making decisions quickly and without angst, thanks to Michael’s clear guidance and helpful information. This was an extremely pleasurable experience, and I’m very grateful to Michael for his expert knowledge and friendly working style
