Keeping clients informed, promptly responding to their inquiries and continually reassessing their goals is how Leticia Zecca Ross stay connected with her clients. Staying connected means keeping track of the clients evolving needs and desires and this in turn ensures a productive partnership. This is the foundation of Zecca Ross & Smith Law Firm P.C.
