Testimonials
“I was planning to submit an Adverse Possession claim for a piece of land adjoining my garden but I could not find any local solicitor with the experience or willingness to help me. While searching the internet I found a page carrying some explanations of AP procedure, written by Caroline Knowles-Ley, so I made contact. Caroline helped me complete the forms with sound advice and also assisted me through the modern minefield of identity proof. The outcome was a successful claim so I am really pleased that I contacted her”
"Caroline was most helpful with her knowledge and time and in addition to confirming the advice already given pointed us in the direction of looking at our home insurance to see if we had legal cover. One phone conversation to Caroline was enough to put us on the right track. I am so grateful for your time, welcome approach and such helpful knowledge and advice. The whole issue is a huge weight off our shoulders and I just want you to know how much you helped us and what a difference you have made to our lives. Please pass our thanks onto all concerned."
