TESTIMONIALS

"I've been working with Mark Kalish and the S4 Group for nearly a year now. He's opened doors for us in Illinois; helping create a more favorable regulatory environment for our industry. Thanks to S4, we've been able to defend against unwanted legislation and have positioned our own bills for success. It's been a real pleasure working with the S4 team.
