“Firstly, l would like to thank you for your persistence and hard work on behalf myself and the girls. We can now have closure on what happened and at least some admittance was better than none. I just hope it doesn't happen to anyone else... It has been a long and tough road, but you have been caring and very easy to talk to and always had time to answer my questions. I will definitely recommend your services if the need arises in the future to friends and family.”
Anonymous client 'JH'
“Thank you' is just not enough to express my gratitude. You are a lovely person with a kind heart and you have helped me more than you know. I’m proud to be a part of the NHS and it truly saddened me that I had to consider taking legal action against an industry that I love, but you helped me understand how to channel those feelings in the right way. You have been a part of my life intimately, talking about issues that are very personal… I really can’t say ‘thank you’ enough.”
