What I expected was "The clock ticking and the lawyer fees adding up, minute by minute, cold calculated and generic." What I got was "a set price for services rendered. A free conference to discuss our issues; a time to decide if we wanted to move forward with the agreement. A warm, caring, personal touch, environment." What stands out or me in this experience the most is "the hour of Dana's time for a conference regarding our issues. All of our questions were answered in such an unhurried manner. We appreciate being charged based on what you believed was a reasonable cost for the amount of work that was done. We appreciate the professionalism balanced with a personal touch.
