Client testimonial about Mike Bishop and Emma Silburn- Mental HealthWHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to Hannah for all her help and support in this matter. As an individual whom has never had any need for any legal advice or similar, Hannah dealt with my situation as well as I could have ever hoped. She took the time to listen, to not judge and to offer sage advice in return. When something was promised to be done, it was not only done, but it was completed within the agreed time and communicated in a clear and concise matter. As much as I would never wish to need legal advice again, my first port of call would be Hannah and if not, one of her colleagues at David Gray Solicitors.
