Coroner’s Inquest & Misconduct Proceedings.
I have recently been fortunate enough to have Hayley’s help and support in representing me for Coroner’s Court. 20 months of stress, worry and anxiety were all extinguished after our first meeting. It was very apparent that Hayley is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in her field of work and she was able to convey what I should expect and what needed to be done. Hayley’s professional and understanding manner has certainly contributed to helping me through this period and I don’t think that I could be happier with how I have been treated and represented. Thank you Hayley.

As police officers we often face accusations, sometimes serious and sometimes ridiculous. No matter what end of that scale you could possibly find yourself I can not recommend Hayley high enough.
Firstly Hayley arrived to help after she had cancelled her personal plans. Then remained with me providing expert legal advice on the legal process and also the professional standards process.
Hayley actually attacked my situation with her impressive knowledge and professionalism. She was very proactive and challenged any issue that arose.
I felt that she was very supportive, realistic and went out of her way to help. Far beyond what I expected. The best solicitor I have seen so far
