Vanessa is highly competent, conscientious, and clearly cares about her clients. On top of that, she has the happy knack of striking a balance between having a kind, friendly approach, and being highly professional. My only concern was an administrative error at one point made by a member of her staff, but no one is immune to the occasional human error, myself included! I would recommend Vanessa unreservedly.
