I first found Rutkowski on my own through a search engine and noticed wonderful reviews. My call was answered immediately by a real person who was very helpful and nice, Angie. Unfortunately, the timing of my matter did not work so I was not able to move forward with them, but I was very impressed with their responsiveness and customer service.
