“I was so impressed with Nelsons and Oliver Maxwell, who was my Solicitor. At all times I felt they/he had my best interests at heart and were incredibly knowledgeable and got me a fantastic outcome on a nasty and long outstanding issue I was having. They were very clear and communicative throughout the process and were always good on their word – no nasty surprises. I would highly recommend and will definitely be turning to them again for anything I may need in future.”
