Thank you David. I would most certainly recommend your services in future. I valued your honest opinion when advising me and I knew it was a risk. Sometime you have to put fears behind you and push for what you are entitled. It was the right and just outcome. Thanks once again to you and the rest of your team.

“ I would just like to say a very large thank you for all your diligence and patience in getting this matter completed. It seems a long fourteen months and I feel a lot more relieved at this time than I did when I rang you in a state of distress, of which was, for me, a very stressful time last January. I know that it was a very complex situation that we were in and as you stated yourself, you had not dealt with any case like it before and probably will not encounter again. Again, thank you for your help it is very much appreciated.”

Without your guidance and ready advice we would have been unable to deal with the events as they unfolded. You were always there at the end of the phone to assure us and help us to understand the options open to us and to clarify the situation.

David has conducted the subsequent negotiations with total professionalism keeping us up to date with any developments. We also asked David in his initial contact with the deceased family to be sympathetic and this was handled with great compassion. We would have no hesitation in recommending David’s work to anybody.

You stood by me and argued my corner right to the end. I was really pleased to avoid a court case too, as that would have been really stressful.

The guidance and support we received from David and his colleagues was excellent, both in the advice we were offered and the guidance through the process. He was able to help us make the right decisions without making the decision for us, which we found both helpful and empowering.

We wish to thank David for his help in reaching a resolution through mediation, to a recent dispute which altogether spanned two-and-a-half years. He handled our case both professionally and expediently whilst retaining a people-friendly, down-to-earth approach. We would highly recommend him as a skilled solicitor and negotiator who gets the job done.

David Farmer acted quickly and we were immediately reassured by his manner and sound legal advice. He kept us fully informed and acted promptly. The matter was quickly resolved in our favour. David was thoroughly professional and approachable throughout the process. We highly recommend him as a solicitor and Wilson Browne as a company.

I just had a phone call from David Farmer and I just wanted to ensure the company passed on my thanks for a very useful phone call with him. I wasn't able to proceed with any business but he gave brilliant advice and had my best interests at heart when giving it. He was clear in his enquiries and advice on what to do next. What a great impression of your company he gave and a credit to the profession in putting the clients interest first. Thank you!

I run a small business and after some rather unfair treatment from another business I was working with and a threat of legal action, we decided to turn to David Farmer for some legal advice. David couldn’t have been more helpful and informative; we came away from our first call feeling far more confident in our position. This led to us not only avoiding an arduous court process but also halving the potential financial damage of the situation. We will certainly be looking to refer to David on any legal matters in the future.
