Highly Recommended
Massive thanks to Laurence who put so much effort and work into my late husband's medical negligence claim. He has explored every venue and explained every step of the process, offering great advice on the actions I could take at each point. Totally honest, very professional and efficient.
Many thanks!

Laurence managed my expectations and then exceeded them,he explained every part of my claim and felt I could and did ask for clarification when legal terms used. These he put into layman's terms. I would recommend that if you have an injury claim he is your man.

compensation, financial advice and will writing
Laurence Daniels was execellent and could not have achieved a higher accolade.
Karen was extrememly helpful in helping me to write my will. Unfortunately due to holidays, sickness and not all being skilled up meant that my Financial advice took a long time to get and my queries were unable to be answered until the key personnel returned. I was disappointed that I was promised to be phoned that day or the and I had to ring again in two weeks. This time Karen took the lead and found the information I needed.
Whilst I realise I am out of your area, I would have thought that there would be some sort of directory of excellent Financial advisors throughout the country. I was also only given one to try. However, maybe that was could be offered.
I do think that Coles could be excellent in more areas. A lot of work was done by Laurence and it is not his field of expertise. He was trying to help me and eleviate my distress.
