 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was able to call late at night without issue, very friendly and knowledgeable, great service. Regarding court, I was allocated a different lawyer who was also spectacular and basically achieved everything we could, which was all down to these guys. Cost was very reasonable and honestly you need to spend it if ever in a situation as the only chance you have of getting a favourable outcome is with a lawyer and these guys are knowledgeable and straight forward. Would recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't thank my Solicitors, George Pharmacis & Margaret O’Hara &they're Team enough for their support through this property settlement.
They were in my corner every step of the way, going way above and beyond what I expected.
It’s hard to find someone who mixes sharp expertise with genuine care like they do.
I highly recommend them if you want someone who treats you like a real person, not just a case number.
