As a busy family law practitioner 2 Dr J are the top of my list when arranging Counsel, they always provide an amazing first class service.  The clerks at 2 Dr J are very approachable and friendly and always manage to find cover for my hearings even at short notice.  Nothing is too much for the clerks at 2 Dr J.  My main contact is Marc Newson and he always goes over and above to assist me in arranging suitable Counsel for my hearings.  Samantha Barker – solicitor, Brighton and Hove Law.
