"First class solicitor"
Amanda answered all my questions with great clarity and patience. She kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me great peace of mind. She was fantastic right through my case — believe me, it was a difficult case — and I would definitely recommend Amanda to anybody needing support.
"Excellent service"
Despite Amanda having many other clients, it always felt that we were the only one due to the time she gave us. Amanda was always there, answering my many questions at all times. Not only her expert legal advice but also my support at a very difficult time — often going above and beyond. My son was supported, represented and given a future.
"Couldn't recommend enough"
Honestly couldn't recommend Amanda Sheppard enough — the hours of hard work she put into our case meant we walked away with the best case scenario. From start to finish the communication was great. Couldn't fault her work.
"The best solicitor in the North West"
Peter Haney is the most professional and knowledgeable solicitor I have come across. He understands the case and has so much knowledge in the legal sector. He is always available when he says and literally has your back — which is what you need.
