A brilliant Lawyer with a heart too! I am not sure if Trudi knows how much her dedication to her cases particularly complex cases, has transformed lives of others in a significant and positive way. Thank you Trudi for all that you did and continue to do; you are a superstar! The legal profession is better for having you in it, to continue the good fight. I cannot recommend Trudi highly enough.

I’m sure you have many clients, so your prompt responses and attention to detail really meant a lot to me and helped me regain my voice. I am back on my feet again and loving this new chapter in my life. Thank you again for your excellent work and professionalism.
