I can’t praise these solicitors enough. Whilst in police custody I had Kimberley representing me, at court I had Samantha. Both are excellent legal advisors. I’ve never left a review for anything before but in needed to say how good this firm is. I was treated like a person, not a case number.
I can’t thank them enough.
