Beyond grateful to this business. I was fortunate to work with Hetish who kept me calm and informed at every single step. He went out of his way to make certain my case was heard to the full extent and worked diligently (for months) to find favourable ways to prove it. Every single one of my charges were dismissed.
Do not hesitate to book and highly recommend asking for Hetish. Thank you sir for all that you did!

I would like to thank Ed and his team for their assistance with my ticket issue. The outcome was the best and most positive outcome I could imagine, and I am so grateful and appreciative.
I would highly recommend them to anyone I know, and after a rough year in 2024, this was a wonderful way to start a new year. I feel very fortunate. Thank you so much for this gift and your hard work.

I called them and spoke with one representative and she was wonderful. They are very helpful, honest and are efficient with their communications. The representative that I had really did get me the best outcome possible given my situation.
I would definitely choose them over X-Copper. That amazing!! 10 stars out of 5! Thank you so much. Hopefully won't need your services in the future, but if I do there will be no hesitation.
