    “I have been looked after incredibly well by Geraldine Ryan and Daniel Keating from CMS. They expertly calmed me and navigated me with ease through a horrible process and helped give clarity, strength and motivation. More to the point I felt they were incredibly robust and knowledgeable in their responses and able to accurately present evidence and facts with no need for emotion or opinion. They were the absolute calm in a crazy storm.”
