    It was our fortune to meet Maître Halabi and Maître Palsterman. They turned our dream into reality. Before meeting them, I searched for two years and always received negative responses. Maître Halabi opened another door for us. During our collaboration, Maître Halabi and Maître Palsterman guided and accompanied us every step until success. They are not only very professional and experienced in this field, but also very human.
