  • Caroline Ortego cares about her clients! She helped my family with their documents before going into major surgery. She also assisted another family member who is disabled and ensured they were covered. It was a relief to have Caroline do her job at best! Makes a difference when a professional is really using their talents to their best of their ability!!!
