Thank you so much for caring I am certainly grateful for Jill McCartney and Madeline McKinnon for all the time they spent on the class action for my and many others issue. People like me do not understand all the legal procedures and get impatient but the team was there to answer any questions or concerns no matter how many times I called or e-mailed and encouraged me to do so. In the end Jill made sure I totally understood the decisions. Thank you so much for caring. Would recommend this firm anytime. - F.A.
