"Overcharged, spent over an hour regurgitating what was available online. Didn’t let potential client speak, didn’t ask enough questions; I recommended her; Didn’t feel the analyses were there for a complex case; painted only worst case scenario but didn’t offer any ideas on how to tackle the case. Disappointed."

"This was by far the most comfortable experience I've had working with a professional service. I could really feel Sogand's passion for her work and helping her clients. This gave me an almost immediate sense of trust that we were working towards the same goal. This allowed me to relax and feel good about a process that I had previously been dreading and anxious about. Sogand new I wanted to save money so she was very time efficient. I really appreciated and trusted that she was trying to save me money while also taking the work seriously and giving it thoughtful attention and quality. I cannot recommend this firm more highly. How refreshing it is to work with someone who brings their self into their work."
