Thank you so much for taking the time to advise me, in depth, without compensation. I don't have extensive experience dealing with legal problems, but sense that my personal, positive experience in consulting Mr. Mungo was a reflection of his knowledge, integrity, and genuine desire to be of assistance - as he certainly was.
