“Justin was very sympathetic, understanding and very professional, explaining everything in detail to me”
“Justin was extremely efficient and professional – I was given good advice on my situation, this in turn has given myself closure on a dreadful situation”
Professional highlights:
- I acted for a brother in a dispute with his sister over their inheritance from their father that was resolved by mediation and healed a family rift between them that had existed for many years
- I advised a claimant in a professional negligence claim against solicitor executors that resulted in an apology, compensation and all legal expenses reimbursed
- I acted for the unmarried partner of the deceased who died intestate and negotiating a settlement that resulted in him living at their family home until his death a few years later
- I advised the civil partner of the deceased who unexpectedly died intestate and settling the various potential claims by other family members on the estate without going to court
- I acted for a defendant in a rare fraudulent calumny claim that unfortunately did go to court
