Michael Tucker

Tagged solicitor Michael Tucker

Where we were originally turned away by 3 solicitors, Michael gave us a voice. With great determination, has shown immense advocation for our cause. Extremely supportive, communicative, I have been kept informed of any progress and couldn't be any more thankful for the representation he offers. So glad I wasn't put off as I found the best solicitor to represent my need.

Kerry Sauntson

Tagged solicitor Kerry Sauntson

I was looked after by Kerry Sauntson, and her colleagues Ben Parker and Leah Dujon. Whenever Kerry was unavailable Ben and Leah stepped in and ensured my case proceeded as smoothly as possible. On the day of my Court Hearing Leah spent the whole day with me, despite the fact that we were not required for much of the time. Both Ben and Leah are a credit to Calthrops and the way in which Kerry allows them to gain experience at first hand. I could not have been happier at my choice of Calthrops as my solicitors.
