Oliver's Testimonials

  • Having been round the houses with a few law firms on this issue it was refreshing to find a firm and a lawyer in Oliver Thorp who was able to help us in such a businesslike manner. Oliver was able to understand our requirements and clearly communicate the options open to us. Estimates of time, cost and outcome were all realistic and fully explained. Questions were answered in a timely manner and billing was prompt and costs, once again, clearly explained. A highly professional service throughout. Many thanks.
