    The best litigation lawyer!

    Heather Roberts was my lawyer dealing with my contentious probate. She has helped me over the past year. Heather is an exceptional lawyer/human being! She has been with me when I've been sobbing my heart out to being so so angry, throughout Heather has been caring, empathetic and more importantly, extremely knowledgeable. She knows her stuff! I would never want to get on the wrong side of her legally!!! It anyone needs a litigation lawyer, l would definitely recommend Heather. Ironically I'm now sad that my case is closing as I will miss talking to her! Amazing lawyer!!!

    Property dispute

    Before obtaining advice from Heather I had little confidence in being successful, however, the guidance I received was excellent. My dispute was handled extremely efficiently and I was kept very well informed. I am grateful to both Gillian and Heather at MBH, thank you.
