I was losing sleep over a minded to bath letter which was due to false allegations working for the local council they used their power to try ruin my career. One little brief email to Richard Nelson, a man named mark hopwell who works for the firm gave me a reassuring phone call saying he could help me. I instantly felt supported and able to relax at night again.. Shortly after mark won the case for me and it was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life using Richard Nelson
