“Ben Pearson managed a fairly complicated family matter for me last year, covering a wide range of disputes from property to financial transactions. His advice was at all times well measured, prompt and ultimately led to the desired outcome despite being thrown several curveballs along the way and having to deal with some novel issues due to the pandemic. Very reasonable on pricing too. I never felt the need to ask for a detailed cost breakdown as it was very clear that a lot of tangible work was being done in the hours billed. Definitely will be my first port of call in the future should I need anything else. Thanks again.”
“I was very impressed with Ben Pearson’s pragmatic and timely advice which was instrumental in helping me to achieve a successful outcome. Throughout the process I always felt he really cared and was on my side.”
