Report
We engaged this firm on the recommendation of our business attorney when we encountered a less the honest couple who tried to sell us their business that they had already sold multiple times to others. When caught they declared bankruptcy. Reno Fernandez and this firm were spectacular and worked extremely hard and relentlessly to recover our funds. In the end we recovered all our funds and because of Reno's efforts the other parties who were scammed got their money as well. 3 years later Reno remains responsive and willing to share his opinion and expertise. Thank you. We are grateful.
