My experience with Iona and Becky was brilliant from the initial inquiry call with Iona, to the regular updates from Becky on the status of my case. Becky was thorough in going through my evidence & documents, and patient in managing the Defendants. I really appreciated Iona and Becky’s honest communication and transparency with their approach to the case. I felt listened to and supported throughout. I’d highly recommend.

Hermoine Porter was absolutely outstanding. Her and her assistant were kind, understanding and extremely calming in a very stressful situation. Their service and the support and guidance from Paul Maynard was outstanding and the outcome was extremely positive. They worked hard and I can’t thank Hermoine, Paul and the team enough. Above 5* service and true customer service excellence.
