Me recomendaron que contactase con Ignacio David Morillas-Paredes, y así lo hice durante las Navidades. Al explicarle el problema, me comentó como se desarrollarían los acontecimientos, cuáles serían los tiempos para su resolución y las tarifas. Todo se cumplió tal y como tratamos telefónicamente. Ignacio, junto con su equipo en Colman Coyle han obtenido el resultado que buscábamos, en un breve período de tiempo y de una manera muy profesional. ¡Gracias!”
