Desperate OAP

After contacting CEL in desperation as a Senior Citizen who had been swindled out of her life's savings I was assigned, as my case handler, a Mr CJ Sharkey, a paralegal. Mr Sharkey has very quickly brought about improvements in my financial situation, although it is early days yet. I hope to recover some of my savings. Mr Sharkey has a very pleasant attitude, and is very patient. I highly recommend him.
