I would like to say once again thank you to the entire company and the lawyers who were closely involved in my case, especially Anna Johnston, Rosalind Fraser, and Francis Leonard. From the very beginning of my case, when I was informed that there was a chance of winning—even when I had moments of doubt—my lawyers provided me with support. My questions were always answered, and I was kept informed about the progress of the case. Thank you once again for your support, professionalism, and for bringing my case to a very successful conclusion. I would recommend Taylor Hampton as they are efficient, hard-working and professional. Thank you
