 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to thank Artemio Guerra and Cecilia for helping me out with my case. It was a complex case and therefore it took a little longer than expected (about a year and a half to conclude) but the results were very favorable! Also, they both speak Spanish, which is a huge plus for someone that has Spanish as first language!
