I would not have received the special medical treatment I required if it weren't for Mack's resources and persistence, I would not have known how to handle unexpected complications if it weren't for Jan's professionalism and deliberateness, and I wouldn't have understood my rights or how to defend them if it weren't for the firm's thoroughness, thoughtfulness, and top-notch expertise. I am so grateful for their support through such a traumatic and overwhelming event."
