Testimonial from the owner of Speech Works Pediatric Therapy - Ms. Karen Horton:

"Luis and I worked together on the sale of my pediatric therapy practice. I found him to be honest, knowledgeable, and attentive to the needs of both the buyer and myself as the seller. Luis brings incredible value to both sides of the transaction, and I always felt comfortable with every step in the sale process. I often felt that on many occasions he was an advocate and a teacher since this process can be emotional and overwhelming. Having the unique experience of working with Luis, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is considering selling their business."
