Testimonials

“I can highly recommend Tristan for his professional advice and help in resolving issues that require his specialist knowledge. He is always happy to be of assistance and I feel reassured I am in safe hands and that he will work hard to resolve the matter in question.”

(Charlotte Morris-Roper, Business Owner)

“I have always found him to be diligent, thorough and tenacious. His wise counsel coupled with a commercial approach has been of great assistance.”

(Cathie Bruce, Experienced Consultant & Non-Executive Director)

“I never felt that I was getting anything less than 100% of his attention and focus. He clearly thinks in a very commercial way – what is going to be the best outcome here for the client, and how do we best go about getting there. He’s also mindful of the need to keep legal costs to sensible levels, in proportion with the claim, which (as the person writing the cheques) I was very pleased with! To top it all, he’s a nice guy too. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again, or to recommend him to others.”

(Mark Hope, Business Owner)
