I’ve spoken to the client who couldn’t have given more glowing feedback about Anna’s representation throughout the case. She said she couldn’t have asked for anyone better today or a better result!

I just wanted to feed that back and thank you again for all of your assistance throughout this case, it’s been much appreciated. Both my client and I are so pleased with the result today! Harriett Killeen - Clarke Willmott, 2025
