Sobea Irfan

Tagged solicitor Sobea Irfan

I had an initial consultation with Sobea. This was not rushed and comprehensive. Also followed up with an email outlining options and costs. No one wants to pay the big bills but we all want good service. I certainly got good service on the free bit, which makes for confidence going forward.
