Testimonials
"James is friendly, approachable and keeps you updated on progress. James acted quickly and efficiently to arrange hearing cover for me with less than 48 hours’ notice on a closure order application. Despite nobody appearing to be available James managed to rearrange the diary to ensure a barrister was at the hearing to represent our client!"
