Dealing with the court system can be a dreadful experience; often I found this case frustrating, painful and far too long, but your decision making ability and perseverance put me at ease.
When I complained about the heavy expenses in the year 1997, you agreed to defend me, even without charging the personal fee. And you kept this promise till the end. There are very few who maintain this high standard of work ethic and loyalty.

Wishing you and your family a prosperous, healthy and happy life. – Mrs Sushil Kaur
