Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. FGC helped my parents when their homeowners insurance didn’t want to help fix hurricane damage, but what truly stood out to me is how they helped me personally when an issue I had didn’t fall under their scope of law at the time. They went out of their way to point me in the correct direction just because it was the right thing to do. They have since expanded their scope and I can’t recommend anyone but FGC.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Un excelente trabajo de parte de todo el equipo!
