Client Testimonial
A testimonial for Pauline O’Rourke, family solicitor based in Birmingham.
“I just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you what a fantastic Solicitor Pauline is. I’ve had years of representation that only ever seemed to write letters (and charge me handsomely for it). Pauline’s approach was a breath of fresh air; pro-actively calling the other side and trying to drive my case forward to a conclusion, keeping me informed at each stage about what was happening or could happen. I always feel like there is a plan, and that every eventuality has been catered for.
I feel like Pauline genuinely cares for me and my situation. I know that she has much bigger cases and clients but I always feel like I’m her top priority. Pauline will always be the number I call if I need legal representation for anything in the future.
