..thank you for taking me on, and for the outstanding support and quality of work that Sami has provided for me. I would like to offer Sami and the practice an unequivocal positive reference, not only for bringing legal proceedings to a conclusion in my favour, but also for the personal support I received at times when my energies needed boosting and my optimism needed rekindling! This has been an extraordinary period in my life, and you and Sami have helped me to re-establish both my financial security and sense of myself, so that I can move forward with confidence. Thank you!
