These guys were absolutely fantastic to deal with. I was communicated with from the start to the end and with Doug's help was granted exceptional hardship and as a result was able to keep my drivers license. I seriously thought this was impossible but these guys made it happen. Thanks for all your amazing help!
Would definitely recommend without question.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Kym Samson, who was extremely responsive, diligent and hard-working. Kym was happy to answer any queries I had, regardless of how busy she was, and kept in constant contact throughout the case providing great advice and service from start to finish. I'd absolutely recommend Kym as a friendly, approachable, and capable solicitor.

I’ve had Kym as my solicitor for the last year and I can’t fault her at all! She got me everything I wanted for my child’s case and was always very responsive and helpful when it came to explaining things to me about the court procedures. Kym’s assistant Holly also is great and was very helpful. I would highly recommend using them and I would definatley come back if I ever needed to. Thankyou again to Kym and Holly.
