I literally stumbled across Blacks in a conversation with a colleague of my wife. I contacted them, explained what had happened and within a few days I could cross out 75% of my list; the other 25% came over the course of our relationship. Professional and knowledgeable, always helpful and above all, friendly. Thank you.
