Report
I have had numerous dealings with this company and specifically with one of their senior solicitors (Tom L). They have been very upfront, honest and clear. They try and serve you to the best of your interests and are genuinely helpful. I don't know what the outcome of my legal dealings will be as they are still pending - but i don't believe I could ask for more from them!

Report
They were so unorganised on the day of the hearing, the barrister could not find a key piece of evidence I had submitted to them when asked for it by the judge...10 mins later he found it, but the judge was no longer interested. They will take your money, claiming they can help, but your just left hundreds of pounds out of pocket. I really regret not representing myself. Dont recommend this firm at all.
