Testimonials

Due to the sensitive nature of the work which this director does in predominantly representing young children and infants in care proceedings, it would neither be practical nor appropriate for them to request testimonials from their clients nor to publicise them. We can assure you that they are very well regarded by the judiciary, colleagues, other members of the legal profession as well as by the regulating bodies through which they hold their professional memberships and accreditations.
