"Professional and personable approach, this made me feel confident. I was given guidance that was easy to understand and was very impressed with Mike who helped me focus during a difficult situation. In one word - outstanding!!!"
“I can't thank Mike Pemberton, and Natalie Tolley enough for all the support, both legally and personally that they gave me from beginning to end. Every question was responded to within the same day, and every verbal conversation was done in a very concerning way.
Once again thank you for all your help my life can begin again now because of you.”
“The words I have don’t seem enough. Its crazy to think that someone I have never met could have such a big impact on my life, the way you treat people the way you speak to people and explain things. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you, I was so lucky to stumble across your name in my google search.”
“I received the letter this morning - no further action. Please pass on my thanks to Mike for his help in this case, much appreciated.”
“Mr Pemberton, I want to thank you for your professional advice and expertise which has been very important in achieving this result. I am most grateful to you for the time you spent in mastering all the details in this long story and thereby obtaining a decision which will, I hope, allow me to begin rebuilding my life after the last 5 years and 2 months in limbo.”
“I received this from DBS on Friday evening; You can imagine my apprehension as I opened the envelope, and my relief on reading its contents when I had! I am immensely grateful to you for all you have done. Many, many thanks indeed.”
