Our unanimous decision to transfer our business to ASL was difficult because we had the same firm for over ten years. However, we had felt and seen that firm grow away from nurturing clients to extreme partner driven analysis that took the human element out as the pressure to make margin increased. I want to recommend ASL without reservation.
