Clare James

Tagged solicitor Clare James

Clare has been a very understanding solicitor. She listened and was able to relay my words and thoughts to the courts. She has been very supportive and I felt in safe hands. My case was not typical and was based on mental health. Clare absolutely understood this and was able to adapt accordingly rather than run her own narrative. I did not get to choose Clare, as she was a duty solicitor. But I feel very lucky and very blessed to have had her represent me.
