Having never having need of a solicitor before I was unsure what to expect but from the very first meeting to the end of the case Evelyn was honest, fair and always more than helpful, always willing to answer my questions no matter how obtuse, always on my side whilst honestly telling me what to expect though out the case which really helped.
