‘Very personal service. Considered advice, even if it's not what you want to hear. Excellent communication A few firms turned down my case when I approached them about it due to its complexity and potential long time frame. AG didnt, which I was very grateful for.’
‘Amy Wedgwood has been excellent over the last 6 years of working with her. Communication has been beyond expectations, even when she is on leave. You feel a sense that she genuinely wants to succeed for you to secure your future. We aren’t at the end stage yet but have succeeded in liability after many years. Her advice has always been reliable and correct to my knowledge and she works very well with my barrister. To me this is key.’
