I am writing to inform you that I used the services of Brenda Anderson. The case was involving a form that was filled out and sent to the US State Department. She was very professional and took an extreme interest in my case. Her dedication and professionalism is very rare and she should be commended. She was extremely thorough, and was able to identify the suspect who committed the forgery.”
