Our employee needed a Statutory Declaration urgently and they were able to assist at a very short notice - really helpful and understanding! This was done observing social distancing guidance and when other solicitors still remain closed due to the pandemic, so really appreciate - and highly recommend - the team's excellent service and professionalism.
