Christine Willemsen on Calegari & Morris:

"There's something very special and synergistic about our firm and our clients. Over the years, we've developed a process of mutual selection. Our clients are people we want to work with. They embrace the principals of hard work, great service, integrity, and value—just as we do. As a result, we have lasting client relationships. The same is true within the firm. Turnover is extremely low because we treat everyone with the same level of professionalism and respect. Not having to retrain people every few years results in our being an exceptional team who provides great service for our clients."
