Just wanted to bump this thread up and let everyone know that I went to Deakins and would highly recommend him. Seriously, he is the best out of the three I have visited to date. To make a long story short, when I showed him my letter of special issuance for Gilbert Syndrome ( a benign condition that many people have) and corresponding lab results, he found it very suspicious that the FAA felt the need to follow it (as everybody does), so he took the time to call a few people at the FAA and as a result, I now have a normal, no restrictions issuance thus ending nearly 8 years of paperwork nightmares. Definitely worth the 90 minute drive!
