Mr Sheridan is very professional individual that will provide you with the best advice and service. Not pushy to settle in order to cash the Cheque and really working ( I only assume ) hard behind closed doors. In my case after 2.5 years I was cleared completely of charges ( police bullying to admit wrong doing ) and this is due to Mr Sheridan having a great approach and good relationships within his environment, knowledge and patience. Thank you again for your help. Recommend Mr Sheridan to anyone and hope we will never meet again
( for obvious reasons)
Thank you
