Complimentary Consultation

First, I welcome you to call for 15 minute complimentary phone consultation to determine whether my services match your needs. My consultation service is your independent second opinion outside of the service giver's office. I conduct consultations face to face or over the phone depending on the questions you have.

Full Consultation Service

The consultation will include a written overview of the content we discuss, two referrals to two providers of each service discussed, and a list of questions to ask when you are interviewing the provider. This information will be mailed to you or e-mailed to you within two days. A typical full consultation lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours.

I have no business relationship with product lines or service providers and will strive to provide you with the best, independent recommendations, pros and cons, all with a sincere desire to help you meet your goals of cost and results.
