What our clients say about Katherine

“It was a pleasure dealing with Katherine throughout the time of our case. Thoroughly objective and pragmatic advice, precise and comprehensive setting out of options and potential strategies followed by swift and efficient implementation. A warm and efficient client manner which eases difficult decisions and a firm quite resolve to achieve the best result. My only regret is that I did not discover Trethowans until I had wasted a lot of time and money on other firms that were far less efficient and caring.”

Client
