Avoid these guys: selective communication coupled with lack of proactive updates. When it comes to making payment, tactical communication to pressure urgent payment. Move on there's plenty of others out there, AVOID THIS JOKE OF A LLP. Welcome a response from an actual partner so i can go over the details with him/her...

Having worked with Katherine for nearly two and a half years on a protracted divorce, I found her very efficient and always had good advice when I needed it. If she was unavailable Marie would be available so that a quick response on her return would be provided. I was regularly updated with latest information and I finally achieved a reasonable settlement, thanks to the them. thoroughly recommended.
