Thank you Jessica Jones

I would like to Thank Jessica Jones for her patience and understanding when helping me through the difficult period of divorce, something I wouldn't have coped with after many delays and difficulties.
She has persevered professionally on my behalf when dealing with Solicitors who simply didn't respond in a timely manner.
Jessica was respectful and kind each time we met, even meeting me at home after I came out of hospital.
