Jennifer in First Suburbs Development Council (FSDC), OH

The customer service that Citizenserve provides is spot on! I always receive a response from a representative the same day I submit my service request, and it is typically completed within 24 hours or less. When a solution takes longer, it is because what I’ve asked for is more complex. The representatives are professional, knowledgeable and very easy to work with!
