Recommendations for Emma

"You are wonderful. It’s been a bit like herding cats to get all the other parties in line and get everything sorted, but well done for perseverance we have got there which is a great relief and a good outcome. My normal experience with lawyers is that they are really slow and unresponsive. I have never met a solicitor like you, you are amazing. We would never have got through this if you had not been at the helm pushing for us. Thank you."
