Having read your letter I would like to thank you for doing your duties emphatically and supporting me though this difficult time by your professionalism. At a time where I was being judged and condemned by various people you fought my corner I believed at the very least reflected my views and side of the story.
- Client of Rachel Browne
Thank you also to you. You have made a very difficult & heart wrenching process so much more bearable than it could have been. Your patience with my ramblings has been admirable & how you managed to extract anything sensible is impressive!
- Client of Rachel Browne
This is just an email to tell you how much I appreciate your guidance and hard work during these proceedings. I am very confident in saying that I wouldn't be in the position I am in if it wasn't for your hard work and guidance.
