Report
I don't often leave reviews, but exceptional service deserves recognition and I must say that thus far, my interactions with Kirk Rice have been exceptional. I had a telephone consultation with Amanda who was both knowledgeable as expected but also extremely conscientious and generous with her time. Thank you for such a pleasant experience.
