“It takes a unique individual to deal with cases involving high emotions and where there is uncertainty. Andrea’s genuine care for me as her client and her empathy made her meticulous and this came through by helping me get the result I needed.

Andreas professional, calm, friendly approach put me at ease time and time again. She was extremely knowledgeable and endlessly supportive.  

Andrea always replied to questions via emails and calls – no matter how many and always followed everything through to the end – nothing was too much trouble. Her constant, consistent level of care was incredibly reassuring. Her tenacious attitude and attention to detail, I’m sure is why I was successful in my case. I would highly recommend her as your first choice.”
