The case spanned close to 3 years and in parts becoming quite complex, requiring specialists. Throughout this period I found David Gray's staff to be professional, efficient and was kept informed at every stage of my case. This together with the experienced barristers they have at their disposal, saw my case conclude in a positive result. I have no problem in recommending David Gray solicitors and should I need legal representation in the future would use them again.
