I work with a personal injury law firm and we would not hesitate to happily recommend Sylvia Palma and her staff. Sylvia is thorough, careful, sensitive and very professional. She thinks "outside the box", she anticipates needs, considers all angles and is timely in her responses. She makes a great team player and we only turn to Sylvia when we have a need for private investigation.
