Jill Lawton

A long drawn out and complicated matter during which Jill Lawton has been an exemplary, caring, and extremely professional solicitor. She has carried out additional research to aide the case where needed, and always been there with advice and support. She has constantly kept me up to date with events and always happy to talk through any potential issues. I would not hesitate to recommend Jill or CWJ's services.

A neighbourhood dispute resulted in a litigagtion against us. Both Lee and Jill were knowledgable, empathetic and easy to deal with throughout what turned out to be a long process. Knowing that we had expert socitors in our corner took the edge off the stress factor. Thank you.
