Hired Attorney 2019-2024Miss Corliss helped me at one of the most depressing saddest times in my life, I was losing a parent and she stepped right up suggested to my family and my 98-year-old father what options we had and I am so so happy with her know how and she doesn't use big lawyer words she makes you crystal clear what you are going to receive from her and she'll suggest your best option and I listened and I think that was a smart move on my part to listen to her advice there isn't enough Stars to give her a correct rating. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't hesitate using her
