Very professional lady and knows all her stuff she gave me great confidence that she knew what she was talking about and was very clear in the possible outcomes of the case. She went through everything quite quickly in great detail and did not beat around the bush. She communicated great with me as I have not been through this kind of thing before and she gives me confidence that if I needed a solicitor again I would definitely use her and I am going to recommend her to family members if anything was to happen and they needed a solicitor. I would like to thank her for keeping me informed and she made me relaxed and less anxious than I was feeling before we met. I am very happy with the outcome I did not expect to get the result I got. she aided in getting my character profile across to the judges so I am very happy. Thanks

Clear Communication and Excellent Results

5

I had an excellent experience working with Miss Cowan. They were not only professional and efficient but also very approachable and understanding. They explained everything clearly and made a stressful situation much easier to handle. From our first meeting, Miss Cowan demonstrated a clear understanding of my case and provided honest, straightforward advice. Her communication was excellent, and their strategic approach led to a positive resolution. i can’t thank Miss Cowan enough for their support during a very difficult time. He professionalism was matched by genuine care and compassion. They fought hard for the best outcome and always made me feel heard and supported. I would absolutely use their services again. Once again thank you so much.

Professional advice and support

5

Zara was on hand to provide advice and support at a time I needed. She explained everything to me and ensured I was OK throughout. The service was professional and her experience really was obvious. Hopefully won’t be in another situation where I need a solicitor but would use Zara again if the situation arose.

Review for Zara and co.

5

Through out my case Zara and the people from ZMS were always there whether it was an enquiry over the phone or email or in court. They were really helpful and due to the case I was really stressed and anxious Zara and the other colleagues from ZMS made me relax and were always there for me to make sure I don't stress a lot. I really thank them for everything they've done for me. People judge you without knowing the full story but Zara was always understanding and made me feel better and stress free

I would highly recommend Johnson Astills. The team are extremely supportive throughout the process keeping you calm & reassured. Futhermore, I was prepared really well and was also stood up for when questioning nearly went off what the incident was related to. A++++ service.

I have used this firm over the years for various different reasons . I have always had a good experience regarding the advice and support I have been given I would like to give a special mention to the legal clerk, Zara Cowen and solicit Michelle Harding for listening to myself at length and giving me great instruction recently.
