Support from Nicole and Ruth
I understand Nicole was a trainee during my court case from 2023-early 2024. The end result wasn't what I wanted but the support I was receiving from both Nicole and Ruth was immense. I felt comfortable and felt like my opinions and voice was heard by them. I hope Nicole gets plenty of credit and a promotion if possible as she is amazing at her job and deserves the best of the best

Gemma was amazing. Very reassuring as I was very nervous. Throughout the court experience couldn’t have done it without the support from Gemma and Ruth.
