I dealt with Rachel Gimson. I deal a lot with different firms of solicitors and Rachel was by far & away the most efficient & friendly solicitor i've dealt with in a long time. She listened to exactly what i wanted out of the situation and acted accordingly. I was kept fully up to date and most importantly to me she picked up the phone whenever needed to get the matter completed - a rarity amongst solicitors these days.Close quote
