Recommendations Olivia has a “very appealing court room manner. She was prepared and really made a mark.” Crown Court Judge
“I have been impressed with the results Olivia has got on the couple of cases she has done for me and how quickly and how detailed her notes are of the hearing” Instructing solicitor
“I would have assumed, watching, that you had been doing the job a good couple of years” Defence counsel
"Olivia went above and beyond.” Solicitor
“I had the benefit of working with Olivia who I found to be extremely hard-working, diligent, pleasant and someone who was able to help us out at extremely short notice to prepare a very complicated witness statement in response to a fairly complicated judicial review matter. Olivia was able to get to grips with a very urgent court deadline and we were able to meet this deadline with her administrative and client care skills. She was able to take detailed instructions from the litigation friend and put this in a witness statement and not only that, was then able to put together a very detailed court bundle at very short notice.” Gregg Burrough – Senior Education Solicitor – Coram Children’s Legal Centre
“Your support gave me great relief. Thank you for fighting so hard.” Lay client
