María Andrea Calero Tafur

Paula is a very thorough, competent and critical professional who always had the firm's best interests in mind. She has the ability to resolve complex problems by presenting robust and convincing arguments. She never missed a scheduled meeting and she always took my calls. What I especially liked about Paula was her ability to remain calm in crisis situations, communicate her ideas clearly and work in teams. Paula became a key part of our team and we owe a debt of gratitude to him for her service. She is a solid lawyer who practices nothing but the best customer service methods. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require any further information.
