  • We needed a fast, responsive bookkeeper.

Our law firm outgrew our PT employee. We needed a fast, responsive bookkeeper. When it comes to our record-keeping, the handling of our Trust account was and continues to be most important. Now that we work with Lescault and Walderman, they are responsive to our needs.
