Tagged solicitor Angie Brown
Having dealt with Solicitors previously, I cannot honestly express how much Angie Brown of Emerald Law Solicitors has gone above and beyond the call of duty in order to help me in a very difficult situation. Not just helpful with legal advice, but also mindful of a client's peace of mind. Truly extraordinary !
