WSAJ President
Thank you for the outstanding service and technical support that your firm provided to me and my New York co-counsel in our arbitration proceeding. You did an excellent job, especially given that the raw video footage and audio soundtrack we provided to you were of poor quality. The arbitration panel and all the lawyers in the room agreed that your presentation saved testimony that would have otherwise been extremely difficult to understand.
