Elizabeth Anne Bell

Tagged solicitor Elizabeth Anne Bell

A quite complex case that was being dragged on by the other party. Jones Myers were excellent in thier approach and handled the case with utmost proffesionalism. With multiple stumbling blocks from the opposite party, these were always delt with swifty and direct. Although my case had been on going for a number of years we got the result in the end.
