Family law
Initially had the pleasure of Amey Jones advising me,who was very kind,patient and understanding during a very stressful time for me.
Further on in the year Robert Hackett took over the next part of my case and he was very professional,explained all aspects of my case to me extremely well. Mr Hackett has a very calming demeanor which helped no end during the process,most importantly we won our case!
