Show me the proof
I have been practicing law for nearly 40 years and have worked with dozens of lawyers and paralegals on similarly complex matters. I am happy to give this group the highest recommendation possible. If you are looking for professional and exceptional paralegals to help with complex matters and you are lucky enough to have found Heidi and Raquel, stop looking. You have found the very best.
My law partner and I have worked with Heidi for decades, and more recently with Raquel and Darsh. They are indispensable to our practice. Available, meticulous and easy to work with. Our complex litigation practice is highly pressurized with mega documents, requiring sophisticated organizational skills, complex analyses and drafting of memoranda of law and related materials. There is no better team of paralegals to manage this work. I highly recommend them!
