My suggestion is do hire someone locally.

I was scammed by someone that frequently comments negatively on this site about other services. Granted, she was right about the foreign scammers who tried to contact me via Twitter.
Anyway, don't be sucked in like I was by allowing this writer to offer to recommend someone only to offer to do the writing for you.
You will NOT be happy with the outcome! Think about it.
Why would a descent writer take the time to respond to all of these students?
Out of the goodness of their heart?
NO! He/she is using the site to suck people in so he/she can scam them! I speak from experience.
I should have known better.
Now, I am doing my own work, which I should have done originally.
