Having no experience of solicitors before, we felt in safe hands with Kirsti Green from the very beginning. Everything was explained clearly and she made sure that we understood everything at each step of the proceedings and all the options available. Kirsti replied promptly with great care and understanding. Three words to describe Kirstis approach would be sensitive, pragmatic and diligent.
