Thank you
We came to this fabulous law firm (MKLaw). From start to finish we were looked after and had fantastic help and advice from people that were at the very top of their game. This was from the very first point of contact with Vikki Wheeler through the whole firm. My sons solicitor Tom was completely professional and on the ball from the first arranged meeting through to his case going to Court. His barrister Francesca Hallett was absolutely brilliant she was very approachable and understanding. She kept us all calm and helped him deal with his case in a way that eased his anxiety and we got a correct outcome with a unanimous not guilty verdict. We can’t thank these people enough. They really are a tremendous firm and I would throughly recommend them to anyone. A massive thank you to you all.
