"I am proud to say that I know Marlon. He has an amazing work ethic with a huge amount of integrity that goes with an entire package of professionalism.
|
I was introduced to Marlon about 4 years ago. It was a time when I was exploring the opportunity to appoint an additional attorney to do my collections of levies whilst I was Managing Director of Propell Sectional Title solutions. I was so impressed with Marlon's professional approach and his unrelenting enthusiasm to business and to life in general that I was convinced that we would do business together one day.
Six months ago I needed a smart attorney to recover a substantial some of money from a very large firm who had reneged on a deal. It was without hesitation that I picked up the 'phone to Marlon. Marlon's approach was exemplary. Although he is extremely professional, he shows great concern for his client to do the right thing. This does not mean that the right thing is to litigate. I always knew that I would get the no-nonsense response from Marlon and his well selected team.
I am proud to say that I know Marlon. He has an amazing work ethic with a huge amount of integrity that goes with an entire package of professionalism.
Needless to say, when the board of Stilus decided to appoint a panel of attorneys to do our collections around the country, Marlon was the first of several attorneys appointed. "
