Katya is outstanding in her performance: very sufficient, approachable, proactive, knowledgeable, caring and prompt. She was constantly giving me most valuable advice, often anticipating many non-obvious and intricate cases. Due to the complexity of my situation, effective communication was crucial. I found Katya to be efficient, friendly and open.
