An excellent service providing a stable support in a challenging time

4

I was unfortunate enough to require the services provided my Mark Dooley and his team. Never needed a solicitor before and I hope never to need one again but from Day one Mark provided a stable and supportive service offering good clear logical advice. The team helped me at interview and throughout the entirety of my case. They would get busy and sometimes it was hard to get immediate contact but they always aimed to contact me ASAP.

If it wasn't for Mark Dooley and his team I would have felt isolated and overwhelmed. Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you

The police contacted me today and has informed me that the decision has been made to file my case and come off bail conditions so the police will take no further action.

This is great news and I couldn't have done it without you. I'm sure your role is challenging at times but you have really come through and helped me with this case.

I wish you all the best in your future.
