Limited interactions with DM, but they were not the most professional outfit.
Tried to arrange a house viewing: had to phone 3 times over 5 days; on each call I was promised a call-back that never occurred. On attempt 4 I finally got a viewing, only for said viewing to be cancelled and pushed back by 4 days; by that point the property had gone. I can only assume this was a momentary blip in their estate agent branch's quality of service.

Liesa and Aine were very supportive during my emotionally very trying medical negligence case. I found them easy to talk to and understand. Our emails back and forth were equally straightforward. Most of all, they made issues of all kinds very clear during a long and ultimately successful action. My husband was also very involved with my case, and he felt likewise regarding what I have detailed here.

I could not recommend Liesa & the medical negligence team enough. They have been professional throughout our process. Offered clear and transparent feedback and been a huge support throughout our case. The level of care , and genuine support has been invaluable to our family . Thank you again for listening , advising fighting our corner and of course a successful conclusion to our case.

This is the second time I have used Drummond Miller and I have to say, they are extremely professional and very responsive. They guide you through the complicated paperwork and processes of immigration while at the same time, putting your mind at ease. Special Thanks to Corneilia for working so closely with us. I highly recommend David Brown and his team!
