All throughout the death of my father after setting up a plan for both of my parents, he continually provided advice and answered every question and concern I had throughout this whole process. Dealt with Mr Weisinger primarily and it was a very good experience. Only charged me when he needed to get directly involved in a particular situation. All questions and advice given were answered fairly quickly and with no charge. I appreciated his help and advice during a fairly stressful time for me and my mother.
