I can not express my thanks to Jeff Pence and Melanie Larson enough. Jeff was a true advocate for me. While my claim may not have been the largest my situation was complicated. I actually consider Jeff Pence a true friend. While I hope to never have to do business with you again, I hope that we never lose contact. Thank you to GGG, Jeff and Melanie!
