Excellent phone consultation

This review is for a different branch.

I had an excellent experience with Sarah-Jane, who I contacted to enquire about transferring my solicitor to her firm. She gave me the honest advice that it would be better for me to continue with my current solicitor, but remained on the phone for 40 minutes discussing and assessing what is a complicated set of circumstances. She gave clear and trustworthy advice, was caring but also direct, and is in other words exactly what one would hope for in a solicitor.
