quotes and 3-4 lines of space

Hi there. There are two issues. The fist is the same for both of your releases: paid or free. In the sidebar or on the page with all of the testimonials each of them opens with an empty line, a line with a double quote and then about 4 additional empty lines before testimonial begins. This has been fixed in the past it seems and lost again but the client is not happy so I am asking for your help. It was not new with the update I did today and existed prior.

Here is a copy paste which I am placing inside of brackets although it is not showing the double quote so I am betting that is in the code somewhere:
[

I’m in love with Blackpoint Cafe’s Honey & Maple latte. I had a sip of it from my friend’s order and its mellow sweetness agrees with my black coffee-loving palate. Newly opened in April, Blackpoint serves San Rafael-based Equator Coffee. It has a smooth and flavorful finish which I thoroughly enjoyed. For a snack, I had the Morning Glory bread ~ from what I recall, it has zucchini, carrots, raisins and balanced the cuppa Joe nicely.

They have a large menu ranging from breakfast burritos, sandwiches, gelatos, cookies, and pastries.

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and the dining area clean, light, airy and relaxing with lots of space, wood-furnishings, and artwork. They also have a few seats outside to enjoy the buzz of the area. An ideal place to recharge from a day of sightseeing ~ it’s right across from Ghirardelli Square.]

The second issue show just when the premium plugin is active and the testimonial is 2 paragraphs the first paragraph displays as a block quote and the second displays normally. It sill has the open quote mark and the empty spaces

Can you tell me where I can go in your code to remove the quotes and the space so I can continue to use at least the free version.
