Charmaine and the team were fantastic. Charmaine gave great advice and helped me through a real difficult period. She always ensured the outcome was going to be the best for me and my children and I could not ask for anyone better than herself to represent me. If I ever need legal advice again I will be using this firm.

Rapid conveyance, which was not straightforward, but our solicitor Kim Pratt made sure we were able to complete when she'd promised. Great assistant too, in Abigail Bratchell, thanks both of you.
