We have worked with several people in the Spadea Lignana Franchise Law Firm and with other organizations. I cannot praise enough how much we at Little Greek appreciate the hard work of Margaret LaMura-Dara. She is always quick to answer emails and phone calls. We have been through an extensive amount of document updates and it wouldn’t have been possible without her help. She works late, often on non-Traditional work hours to make things happen on time. Keeps everyone on task, follows up and makes things happen. If she is helping your organization it will be without a doubt a success.
