‘Over a period of 12 months, Hester Jewitt provided ongoing support and advice to me on what had become an entrenched and complex matter. She quickly got up to speed with the specifics and idiosyncrasies of my case, and provided a number of alternative routes to consider to help draw the matter to a close. As we neared the conclusion of the issue, Hester adopted a very strong and proactive approach with the other party, which led to what I believe was an enhanced position for myself.
