• ‘TLP was willing to take the job and carry the ball for us concerning our FCC problem. I cannot say enough about the professional attitude and communication that TLP gave to us, never did we have to wonder what was happening they were always communicating. They were always willing to meet us when we came to DC. TLP goes above and beyond. Jessica DeSimone Gyllstrom has gone above and beyond to help us with our FCC issue. I can say without reservation that Jessica is a true professional and avid communicator.’
