My husband and I want to say a huge thank you for giving our daughter legal advice, and most especially for going with her to the station yesterday. It has been a really difficult week and she was incredibly anxious about it. We had no idea what the right thing to do was, and it was an enormous relief to have a clear steer from you and to know that you would be there to make sure it went according to plan. She was greatly reassured to have you there, and we are extremely grateful. Once again a massive thank you!
