Experienced, empathetic support in a difficult situation. The Holborn Adams team were supportive from the very beginning, Fay Ashton was my first point of contact and she was empathetic to the situation straight away. Within 48 hours I had a plan and scope of costs with a range of services to pick from.
Lara was my appointed solicitor and again, her approach was to lead with empathy in what was a difficult and new situation. Throughout the whole process I felt I had support from Lara and the team.
