“Abbey Cárdenas has great attention to detail and a vast knowledge of grammar and punctuation rules. I am a busy attorney and always rushing, so it’s great to have Ms. Cárdenas to make my work look professional and error-free. Since English is my second language, her help is invaluable. In fact, I should probably have her review this testimonial.”
