As a client of Mikel McKinley, I'd like to take this opportunity to say what an outstanding job he did for our family with insurance claims.
While working with Mr. McKinley, he kept me informed in every aspect from start to finish. I greatly appreciate his attention to details and look forward to retaining him in the future, if need be.
