Expensive but she gets you a positive result. A friend of mine recommended her to me and did say she was pricey but good. I agree. I can't say the same about another family solicitor that I previously used

I was at an all time low, with little hope of improving. Ruth Taylor helped me, and went above and beyond. That was several years ago, and my life has turned around since. Thank you so much Ruth, we'll never forget you. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending you to anyone in need of your services.

Report
Ruth was recommended to me. Her professional and friendly manner was second to none. Ruth took her time to go through the whole process to make sure I understood where I stood with my situation. I was very thankful for Ruths support and the continued support even after my situation had been dealt with. Ruth does not rush her time with you, she keeps in contact regularly I never once felt I had to be chasing. I will definitely use Ruths service again if needed and would recommend to friends and family. Thanks again Ruth.
