Belinda Lester

Tagged solicitor Belinda Lester

Belinda was very helpful, responded quickly and worked with my company to review an agreement despite them not sticking to the proposed deadline. She asked the company the important questions for me - I felt like she had everything handled which was great as I had never been through this situation before.
