- 'Two individuals stand out: Simon Breeden (partner) and Kim Overton (partner). Both provide exceptional client focused legal advice. Both are prepared to go above and beyond for their clients. Both are prepared to take cases on CFA, with success, even when other firms have rejected such claims on a CFA funding basis. It may seem trite to say, but both really do make every effort to ensure that the very best result is achieved and leave no stone unturned in terms of investigations into evidence. The personal approach and ethos of the firm in this regard really does shine through.'
