Client Testimonial

‘Caroline Liggins was a fantastic solicitor who helped me immensely with my legal problems. Her calm and professional advice was invaluable to me. She was immediately responsive to my contact and was happy to spend as long as I wanted explaining the legal issues to me. No other lawyer I have dealt with has been as effective a communicator nor as reassuring a counsellor as Caroline.’
