He is highly committed to his clients and pursues their cases ferociously and with total commitment.
I worked with Trudi and Hannah on a long-running, intractable and very difficult case. Hannah was excellent, performing way beyond her experience. She was on top of the detail, very efficient (with me, the client, the court and the opposition) and effective. I was also very impressed with her client-handling, which was exemplary and befitted a solicitor of far more experience than she in fact has. Furthermore, she appeared unflappable and calm, as well as good humoured at all times, despite the many (and unusual) which arose in the case.
Even if she has to present a difficult position, she does it expertly and brings people along with her. She is very good at case planning and strategy.
Kevin is very popular with clients and really knows this area of law.
Trudi Featherstone is a fabulous mediator. She is really sensible, really pragmatic and really takes on board the individuals she’s dealing with.
Thank you also to you. You have made a very difficult & heart wrenching process so much more bearable than it could have been. Your patience with my ramblings has been admirable & how you managed to extract anything sensible is impressive!
