We have used this firm for many years. We found them excellent. I had a property matter a few months back and they were on to it in a flash. They got it sorted expeditiously and managed to get their fee back from the other party. Could not be better. The staff are always polite, understanding and helpful. Five star service. Terry Rodgers
