Excellent Outcome
"I am a solicitor in England but was involved in an accident in Edinburgh. Michael and his firm were instructed by my insurance company. It was a relatively small claim. Despite that fact it was dealt with efficiently and I was kept informed of the progress. I was very impressed with Michael. He did a great job on my case and the outcome was excellent. Thank you Michael."
