- Randy and Josey"...the Schnecksville office has an A1 team. Thanks for a great job in settling my mother's estate. You produced as promised even with some of the hurdles that I made you jump. In this day in age when everyone seems to be taking advantage it was refreshing, no inspiring to find a "legal team" …that got the work done with minimal confusion and under budget. My father was trusted in business as a man of his word, honest, and hardworking. I'm glad that we found you to close this final chapter in my parent's lives. … thanks again for settling the estate and keeping hope alive that honest hardworking values are not dead."
