I had trouble find someone who could help me get medically cleared from Florida to get a drivers license. I am now in North Carolina so I was never able to meet with them in the office but they were always quick to respond to my emails or phone calls. Ella was extremely helpful getting in touch with the review board! I couldn’t have done it alone atleast not in the time frame that it did happen! I haven’t had a car in 10years y’all don’t understand what this means to me! I’m very grateful Sincerely, Kaitlyn Barclay
