"I wanted to take the time to thank you for the way you have handled my situation which was far from straight forward. The communication was absolutely first class with emails always acknowledged and direct/mobile phone calls either answered or returned quickly. You were pro-active in communicating with third-parties and kept me advised. I never once had to ask for an update. I have had dealings with another large local firm of solicitors in the very recent past and as such I know that the service received from you was far superior. You more than lived up to the promises within your terms of service. in my experience that is not always the case elsewhere. I will not hesitate to use you again or recommend your services." Mr B
