Chris Hogg and team work together effectively and efficiently to deliver the best client experience in the area.
The Crime team are clearly very hard working and knowledgeable in their field. Always handling legalities professionally and as quickly as they can. Very professional, kind and friendly.
From the start all of the communication and information was clear and precise. Chris was very helpful and reassuring during the darker days of the police enquiry and put my mind at rest – an excellent ambassador for your firm.
Our engagement was notably with Christopher Hogg who is an extremely capable and hands-on litigator with excellent client application, leadership and direction skills. His support team entirely complements that, and team delivery is first-class and most reassuring.
