... When I came to your JC, NY office for an employment drug test. You explained "Fight Back" to me when I told you about my parents problem in Texas. They complained to the police about a drug house on their street. The police showed up at their house for all to see. When the police left the drug dealers stoned my parents house and yelled threats at them for weeks. They are elderly and trying to sell their house for almost a year now. You assured me you could stop all the drug traffic in less than three days and you did. My parents gave me the address of the drug dealers and license plate numbers accumulated for more than a year. Keeping my parents completely out of it and from NY you scared off all the drug traffic and dealers in less than 48 Hrs. The police are puzzled and all the neighbors feel free and safe again. Thanks so much for giving my parents a safe drug free neighborhood to live in again.

...After several years of escalating drug use, failed rehabilitation, counseling and violent behavior with my single mom I am on my way to recovery. After our first session your brutal but passionate no nonsense approach put my mom and I on the same side for the first time in years. You offended us equally. In our quest to get even with you we actually realized it was possible to communicate. At the end of our second encounter with you we realized you had a unique ability to evaluate and manipulate our ignorance into positive eye opening ways to work through our problems and my addiction. Once you made us realize my addiction was our problem the healing began. Even though our third visit with you was our last we refer to your passion, and fearless in your face logic that allows us to stay on point and continue to move forward. I will be starting college soon and mom and I will no doubt be referring to the brief but life changing encounter we experienced with you.

...My son had been using drugs since he was 12 years old. We brought him to see you as a last resort at 17 years old and what looked like a certain future as a lost adult. He had been kicked out of his forth rehab center and I had spent my life savings on psychiatrists, psychologist and drug counselors. None had insisted on involving the entire family. When you told my ex-wife and I to get our significant others, in-laws, future in-laws, siblings and future step-siblings to commit to being part of the solution I thought you were out of your mind. When I offered you money to compromise on that request you told me to save the money for my son's funeral or career prison life and wished me luck and a good day. I knew at that moment you meant business. In short my son is doing very well for a little over a year now. You showed us the light at the end of the tunnel in just a couple of weeks when years and tens of thousands of dollars brought us consistently further from hope with each day and dollar invested. You helped us create an internal support team that just simply cannot fail. Your influence has impacted so many more lives than just our immediate family. I now understand your comments as you ended our first interview.
" there are too many people for me to help. If you don't get it by the third visit you won't. Unfortunately for society I don't need you to fail in order for me to survive. I have other families to schedule so do you want to try it my way or can I make time for someone who will."

Thank you for your straight-forward approach and sharing your many years of knowledge.

...My husband & I suspected our fifteen year old for months. You spoke to me several times and never asked our names or mentioned money. We finally convinced him to get tested and we are on the road to recovery.

...I just wanted to drop a line to quickly thank you again for your courteous and professional help with .... last week. You certainly went above and beyond the call of duty in how you handled this situation. In this day of greedy businesses and the, it's all about me attitude, it is refreshing to find an honest businessman who feels he is here to do more than just a job.
Mike I would highly recommend your company to anyone in my industry or anyone who is in need of help with occupational health testing.... .

...When I called I was concerned about the way my thirteen-year-old daughter was dressing, her new friends and attitude. After talking to you for a short time you made me realize there may be more to think about. Just minutes into our first visit you convinced her to be tested. She was positive for heroin. I was devastated and she was mad and in denial. Before we left you made sure we where communicating and assured both of us this was not the end of the world. The literature, advice, referrals and support have truly been a saving grace.
