Simon Steele-Williams was brilliant and soon realised that we were dealing with a very difficult situation for our disabled son. He listened to everything, kept us in touch with progress and understood exactly where we were coming from. We had contacted other solicitors previously who did not show the same courtesy and understanding. We are so grateful that we managed to get contact with your organisation and more specifically Simon. We were so pleased with the outcome and the follow up was also excellent. We will definitely use you again if needed and will recommend your Company as it was easy to deal with such people. It is really good to work with people who have a personal approach with their clients.
