I had a case going on for about 2 years and finally all has come to an end, Dexter Bonner and his team was very good and knew how to deal with the case even in difficult circumstances, i am very pleased with the out come and working with Dexter who I felt very comfortable with and he had no judgement of me and that felt really good to see. very good company anytime I couldn't get hold of Dexter I would ring the Reception and they would pass the message on and I'll get a response. I just want to thank you for your hard work.

My experience with National Legsl Service Solicitors have been magnificent. They provide amazing service and support you immensely throughout your case whilst getting you victory. Dexter Bonner was amazing in court as my council in representation before the case judge. Also throughout my case my solicitor Sheena Donlon and her assistant Vanisha Shah were first class in their work, always above professional. Thank you all.
