Rude and completely unprofessional. I was told by a paralegal that she "didnt have time to deal with this" and that a check could be placed under A WELCOME MAT after hours for me to pick up after it had been mysteriously returned to their office two weeks after it was supposed to be mailed to me. Above and beyond service from these folks. Truly. liars and thieves.
