Testimonials

I have found them to be quick to respond, giving good practical advice and is attuned to the problem in hand.

Jen Morris is brilliant. Jen is responsive, thorough, practical and just the lawyer you need when a complex dispute becomes difficult.

The gunnercooke approach to the service needed is to find the best suited person to deal with instruction and then agree a sensible fee basis, which in my 45 years of experience is a breath of fresh air having suffered at the hands of the large firms where you pay so much to feed the partners unquenchable thirst for cash.

I have dealt with Simon Etchells who is attentive and accurate with advice and actions.
