Client Feedback

The team at Waterfront Solicitors, in particular Jamie (who handled my case), have been amazing. They were very prompt and provided support in very tight timescales I had. They always kept on top of everything and proactively updated me throughout the process. I can’t thank them enough for their help and support, and flexibility at a difficult time personally. Would highly recommend anyone that needs legal support to reach out to the team. Employee of a large travel services company
