"Once again a huge thank you for everything you have done, it was a pleasure working with you on this and the results you achieved (when some thought nothing was achievable) are nothing short of a miracle."
"I was delighted with the outcome of the Hearing and it was a pleasure to observe how a professional pleading and documentation to the Court should be done." Mr Jasper
"I found Nikki very kind and courteous but very professional at the same time. She kept me well informed at all times as to the progress of my case. If Nikki did not know the correct way to proceed with something, or the answer to one of my many questions, she sought advice from others in your firm before proceeding. In turn making sure I had the best possible advice and information. I will be very happy to have Nikki represent me in the future, and I would and have recommended your firm, and Nikki, to others for any legal matters they may have." M Ravisse
"Nikki Coward has given excellent service to my company; she was able to comprehend the most difficult technical work and at the same time foresee concealed pitfalls in respondents submissions and negotiate a good result from a high profile London legal firm. Well done!." G Black
"I would like to thank you very much for the excellent service you gave. From the outset, you explained the situation to me and mapped out how you thought things would/could go and the implications for us. When I needed advice and a bit of boosting you were there, on top of the brief, as well as clear and straightforward with your advice. You came very close to making the whole mess an utter delight!." D Rangecroft
"You guided me through the procedural minefield and patiently answered many questions with great aplomb, patience and charm. As well as having a grasp of legal complexities and options and likelihoods, you could relate them to a client's perspective, and that was greatly appreciated." B McGinley
"thank you for letting me know the result of the recent hearing and what a result it was!!! I would like to thank you for all your hard work over the last two years. From the initial meeting with you back in 2013 (I think) I had every faith in your ability to bring the issue to a favourable and just outcome..., what I did not appreciate at the time was that we would have such excellent advice and support throughout the two years not to mention your tenacity and determination in dealing with our freeholder without which I think we may have thought twice about continuing. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who has property and freeholder issues, thanks again." L Barden
"We felt very confident in your ability - and came away feeling stronger knowing there are people like yourself to fight for us." Mr & Mrs Stace
