I would like to say a big thank you Chantal on behalf of myself and my family for all your advice, help and support concerning this matter. You have been excellent throughout. I would not hesitate to come to you again if I needed any further assistance.
During all our dealings with Chantal we always found her to be efficient, courteous and professional. She visited our property and really felt for our predicament in dealing with awkward neighbours. She did her best to resolve the issues and to defuse the situation. She was prompt in her replies and we regarded her as a friend. We would not hesitate to use her services again if required.
I have used many solicitors over the years but Chantal is one of the best I have ever used. She helped me with a very stressful situation and after chatting to her always made me feel calmer. We managed to sort the issue out in the end which was very complicated and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for your help.
