We thought long and hard before including this section, as we did not want to offend the many great companies not on this list. This list is not meant to be exhaustive. It does, however, reflect great experiences we and our clients have had with these companies such that we feel confident in recommending them. No doubt, there will be more to come.
Bluestone Financial

Coffey & Company
Commercial Insurance
When you say “integrity,” you mean “Coffey and Company.” They are knowledgable and experienced, to be sure, but what makes them stand out is that they are a core values-driven organization from tip to tail.

Joe Natoli, Give Good UX | Twofold
User / Customer Experience Consulting
I have known and worked with Joe for over a decade now and have found him to be one of the truly great and innovative thinkers in design and user experience. He is, however, a Cleveland Browns fan, so you’ll have to draw your own conclusions.

Oliver & Grimsley
Intellectual Property
I consider Mike Oliver and his team the go-to attorneys for Intellectual Property matters. They are on a very short list of attorneys I would use without hesitation.

PBI Restorations
Disaster Restoration
PBI stands behind its work. To me, this is the highest compliment one could bestow upon a professional. They’ve got great people, they perform great work under extremely difficult conditions, but there is no substitute for PBI’s brand of integrity.

Hugh Robinson II, Blueridge Bank
Banking
Hugh’s experience, practical approach, bedside manner and insight, to my mind, make him one of the pre-eminent bankers in the region. There’s simply no one better.

Susquehanna Bank
Banking
Nicole Bliss and her team in the Hunt Valley branch tracked down an Executive Vice President, pulled him out of a party, and got him to the bank to authorize a wire that had to go out ten minutes before the wiring deadline on December 31st. Enough said.
