Worse solicitors i ve ever dealt with, Harriot is just intrested in the money, she doesnt care how does your case end as long as she gets paid on time
terrible in giving advice, she was always late for appointments , she doesnt care about justice, as long as you pay .
i dont recommend this solicitor unless its a routin paperwork, if you are on the edge asking for justice, run away from her
