Took the stress out of litigation and gave us confidence.

From initial consultation to resolution, Mark Gough took all of the worry and stress out of the whole situation. His advice was pragmatic and he gave us realistic expectations all along. His attention to detail and ability to drill into specifics to come up with arguments and angles we hadn't even thought of was so impressive. We would not hesitate in recommending him and Slater Heelis again.
