Thanks so much for your help Sam.
The service and attention I received was outstanding and I felt a valued client from my first interaction - which I note, by the nature of the matter, required (and received) prompt action to commence....and then considerable patience thereafter - both of which I received from David and his assistant, Gabrielle. Thank you.
I must say an extra thankyou for being so timely in your responses. It's appreciated.
I would like to express my gratitude for your support and help with this part of my life. I feel you have shown that with caring people the law can be fair and help people through difficult times. I thank you for your respect and fairness and words cannot express how I feel only that with your help I now have purpose and direction in my life. Thank you.
