Excellent case work leads to Great Outcomes!
Miles and partners has represented me since 2022 to 2025 through legal aid. The solicitors have been professional, Empathetic and considerate. I had changes of solicitor but the transition was done perfectly well. All three solicitors were excellent, starting with Thomas, Sarafina and Sherma.
Sherma has worked my case, reassured me and I felt that I was heard. My Barrister Paige has been a great support at the court along with Sherma.
The Judgement came as a surprise and victory. I thank that I had the right people around me during this time. This was possible because of the people who put extra efforts, dedication and commitment towards the case work. Me and my son could see our family after 5 years finally, tears flow through my eyes as I type this. Thankyou for standing and being that voice through out. I did not have to say anything even before I wanted to say something, this was already said to the opposite party. This is when you know that your voice becomes their voice due to thorough study of the case. The wisdom and counsel the professional have is outstanding!
If I could give more stars I would press them all!
I pray that give you'll strength and desires of your heart.
Thankyou to Miles and Partners for being a part of this journey, continue doing the work.
True heroes are the one's that fight injustice and make a difference in the lives of others!
