I am very proud of myself and the whole LEW Corp. team in fully understanding these, sometimes confusing, changes and guiding our clients through the process. Additionally, I am proud of several recent instances where we were able to have violations removed based on our knowledge of the regulations and ability to extract the proper details from the client on the specifics of the violation and tenant situation.

I say without hesitation that I would not be where I am today without his guidance and mentorship.
