We are experiencing extremely high demand for advice.
We have very long waiting lists for appointments and also a high number of active cases we are already working on. We are now taking referrals for all areas of law. However clients may face a long wait to be contacted as we will only contact a client 2 weeks prior to an appointment being available to maximise appointment take up. We will continue to offer alternate sources of help. Please do not contact us to chase up a referral unless over 1 month has passed.
