*In contentious business, a solicitor may not calculate fees or charges as as percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.
I just wanted to say thank you for everything. When I went through a very difficult few weeks, and had no solicitor representing me, you took on my case when I needed it the most, then I got the result needed. I could not have wished for a better solicitor.
