    “One thing that is important to me: that Chrissi know how much I value her. You are the star, and you’ve built a damn good thing there, but I want her to know that I really appreciate her special blend of smart and down-home realness.”

    Matthew Crownover – ID Plates

    "Without the help and guidance of the attorneys at Exall our corporation’s deal would never have been finalized. I have been in this business for 46 years and have had dealings with many law firms. Needless to say some have been pleasant and some have been unpleasant. Exall is definitely on the pleasant side, not only from a professional view but also from a personal view. Their attorneys’ knowledge and professionalism are unbelievable."
