I liked the frank and constructive guidance on the merits of each person. I didn’t get the feeling that you were trying to “sell” me an individual who wasn’t a good fit.

I have been incredibly impressed by the standards of BCL Legal. They kept me informed and I felt 100% confident that what was promised, would get done - and it certainly was.
