Great outcome with the help of Michelle

My title of review says it all!! Great outcome with the help off Michelle. Michelle is very professional in her job and supported me throughout my case and advised me to the best of her ability. Michelle kept me informed every step of the way and made me feel comfortable in every way possible were I could ring anytime and ask questions regarding my case. Michelle was very polite and welcoming always and am really pleased it was her that took my case on. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone as she is very good at her job and gets the results you want. Thank you

A truly amazing experience

Thank you so much for all your understanding, patience and support in navigating what has been a really stressful situation. I always felt I wasn't fully in the know and I was wrong in my expectations around my case but Adrienne made me realise I was correct in my thoughts and she helped navigate what I needed.

I met Mr Basharat Bhaatti in very difficult circumstances. He was kind understanding and knew exactly what required to lead me to a good outcome. His understanding of my situation and the effects was exemplary. Bash is very caring person with excellent insight. I can not recommend him highly enough.
Many thanks indeed.

Friendly, approachable, professional, knowledgeable

I was unexpectedly put in a situation where I had to seek legal advice following a breakup which my ex partner took badly. From the outset, Adrienne was incredibly reassuring and made it clear she had my back. I had never set foot in a courtroom before and was very nervous and emotional but having Adrienne literally by my side was such a huge help. Adrienne and her team were brilliant at keeping me up to date on the proceedings without showing me every communication from my ex-partner which was much appreciated as I was understandably very stressed about the whole situation.
I would have appreciated the same solicitor representing me through the whole case but I understand this is not possible due to being unable to rearrange court dates. The barristers and legal representation that Adrienne and team booked for me were all very good and I didn't have to explain the whole situation again. Adrienne was very skilled at explaining legal procedures and terminology in an easy-to-understand way, I couldn't have got through the most stressful time in my life without the invaluable support of her and her team.
I never thought I'd have to use a solicitors in this way, but I would not hesitate to use or recommend Adrienne and team again, although hopefully this will never happen again!
