My clients love what I do

• “Alex and David, the barrister she sought to represent me, were incredible, kept me informed and ultimately gave me and my family our lives back by recognising and fighting for my innocence”
• “Alex was a god send with everything, she was understanding helpful and non judgemental, thank you”. 
• “The team at Churchers solicitors were brilliant especially Alex who had advised and supported me through a very difficult period in my life. Providing clear and understandable advice in a friendly and professional manner, always making me feel my case was heading in the right direction. Alex was always happy to answer all my questions in an honest way and would always update me on any changes that had occurred in the case. I would always leave the meetings knowing that my case was in safe hands as Alex clearly has a lot of experience and really knows her stuff. As a result of all the hard work, my case was resolved in my favour and I can’t begin to thank Alex and her team for all their hard work! I would happily recommend Churchers to anyone, any time! “
