“I believe that disputes should be resolved as quickly and cost-effectively as possible with legal fees which are proportionate to the sums at stake. Our legal system is too expensive to use just to prove a point (and life is too short!) and I can help you to resolve your dispute on the best terms negotiable. But if you do have to take your case to court, I will absolutely fight your corner and support you every step of the way.”
