As ever, you’ve been brilliant Hannah. I wouldn’t say each time we chat it’s the best moments of my life but each time you blend a mix of fantastic advice, legal professionalism as well as just being there for me to vent anytime I’ve needed. Your advice (even when I haven’t always wanted to hear it) has been well founded and always with the desire to get the best outcome possible in mind. I’d absolutely recommend you to anyone going through a family matter as the only person to go and speak to so a huge thanks for everything despite how challenging a situation it’s been for me.
