Robert has been great. His expertise in realestate purchase and sale agreements saved us a major headache and provided us options to ensure we found a viable solution for all parties. Additionally Robert was timely in his response.
I spoke with Robert today to get advice on a will. He was friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. He listened and addressed my questions straightforwardly and honestly. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
Mr. Franco listened to my situation and offered advice guiding me in a different direction than the course I had chosen. This has turned out to be a better direction by which to accomplish my goals.
