From the start, I felt Tiffany instantly understood my situation and empathised. She explained everything to me clearly at a point in my life where everything was very confusing. Tiffany went out of her way to be responsive and communicative. Tiffany outlined the costs and gave me options for Barristers. She communicated with the Barristers in a timely manner and I felt everyone was kept in the loop and aware of what was going on at all times. I could never have navigated these waters without the team I had, and I am incredibly grateful that Tiffany was my Solicitor throughout this awful time. I would definitely recommend Tiffany if you are looking for an efficient, responsive and experienced Solicitor.
