Various comments from her very satisfied clients include:

“I felt extremely fortunate to have you as my solicitor.  Your vast experience translated into advice that was no-nonsense, calm, reassuring, empathetic and professional.  I felt you understood my situation… I would happily and unreservedly recommend you and your team to all.”

“To think the place where I was when I first met you… and to where I am now.  Such a relief.  You were great…relaxed me on a personal level and made it all run smoothly.”

“Thank you once again for all your work; especially the sensitive way in which you made a distressing situation straightforward and manageable.”
