"Amazing wealth of knowledge in Contractors License matters. I reached out to Mr. Cocciante, with some concerning questions, regarding my own application for license. Having already started the process of becoming a Lic. Contractor, Phil walked me through my areas of concern, step by step. Twice he did this, once on a Sunday evening, then again on a Saturday evening. He knows the CSLB subject matter thoroughly. I offered payment for his time. Actually, I basically pleaded with him, to let me pay. That was the only thing he wouldn't do for me. Real life situation and solid advice, from the Guru of all things Ca. Contractors Lic. I highly recommend he's services. You'll be glad you did!"

"I enjoyed my contacts with Phil since the very beginning. He was very responsive and informative although I did not declare him I would use his services at that time. So firstly, that was him who bought me not me who bought his services. Seeing his highest attitude and seeing him being helpful I decided to buy his prep materials after I clarified all CSLB procedural matters. I would not be able to pass CSLB exams without Contractors License Guru. Phil provided all resources that I needed. The best one I liked was quizzes and lectures. I passed bothe i.e. the law and the trade exams on the first attempt. Thank you Phil!"

"I was recommended by friend of mine to contact Phil to fill my application for general contractor license and to do all paperwork necessary to summit the application to the CSLB. so I did contact Phil and from that moment on Phil work with me in all the information needed to summit the application. Everything when so smooth that I did not have to do anything, that just wait for approval by the CSLB. In about three weeks later a received a later of acceptance. My friend had a great experience with Phil services and I have one too. Phil is very professional and very responsible with personal information. Thank you contractor license Guru/ Phil. I will highly recommend it to anyone who wants to apply for GCL."
