This is to confirm that I obtained the services of Deanna Gilbert approximately two years ago. It was obvious to me at the outset that she was not only personable, but extremely organized, knowledgeable and eager to help.

From start to finish I never once felt the need to follow-up as I knew she was totally competent which proved to be true as my case ended better for me financially and sooner that I expected. All along she was open and very clear about my options and her recommendations. It was refreshing to deal with her in general.

I was indeed very satisfied with her services and would definitely hire her in the future should I require her assistance.

Sincerely,

- D. Welbourn

 

 

I'd like to thank you for all of your efforts on my mom's behalf. We'd never had the need to make a claim before, so there was a lot to learn in the process of gathering the necessary information and the process of negotiation. Your guidance and patience throughout the process and explanations to all of our many questions certainly was a benefit to our understanding. Your persistence in making sure that the final closing was accomplished in a timely manner and to mom's benefit is much appreciated. I'd certainly recommend your services to others.

- L. Davidson
