    I wanted to sincerely express my gratitude and thanks to you and Joey. I cannot tell you how much this has meant to my family and me. In the very beginning I was so scared and wasn’t sure how things were going to play out. Joey is very special, she went over and beyond assisting to my needs and continues still. I understand how much your establishment has done for me. Thanks, Jeffrey and Joey.

    Thank you for being so kind and understanding over the past few years while Joey handled my divorce. I appreciate all you and Joey have done for me, as a matter of fact, Joey has been and always will be my “My Rock”! She has an extraordinary handle on me, she has kept me grounded, sane, professional, informed, educated and taught me the importance to handle the marital conflicts with the utmost maturity, and kept me out of trouble with any frivolous charges my ex may have tried to put me in. I owe it all to Joey!!! Without her in my world, I am not sure where I would be today. I do know I am in a much better world because of her!!!
