Absolutely outstanding service

I was in a recent proceedings case.. I had Sara Hormcastle at GT STEWART and she was amazing with my case. At every turn, court hearing and review, she was more attentive, organised and detailed than I ever expected. At all costs she was determined to recieve my best outcome, she was on top of every obsticle and fought through them all. Every singke amount of paperwork was sent and signed on time to the court. She alwsys had mine and my families best insterest first and was upfront and honest about my progress and thoughts on what my best and worse outcomes woukd be, in which i found extreamly useful. She was upfront to the professionls in the case and if they wasnt doing their job properly she was quick to make sure they did! I highky considered Sara throughout to be on the phone whenever i needed her, every email was answered to and if and when away from her desk made sure i knew who to contact and gave me their full details to make sure i never felt alone. I cannot fault the work she done for me and guidence she gave me throughout the process. We got so close me and Sara Horncastle that it was great satisfaction she said i could call her whenever things that should be done after the case werent done and told me she would still make sure plans were persued properly! She was absolutely brilliant! If you need a family solicitor look no further! I promise you wont be dissapointed! I certainly wasnt! Seriously Sara you are an amazing family law solicitor, i cannot thank you enough or fault you at all. Mum of two beautiful girls
