"You were positive"
Just a note, to say a big thank you for all your help in securing my Leave to Remain. When I came to you I had already put in an application for leave to remain which had been turned down. But talking to you and discussing my case with you, you felt sure that you could help us to achieve this. So with your help a new application was submitted and I was quickly successful in getting my leave to remain. It was your determination and the content of letters that you wrote that we managed to secure it; and the whole process only took 3 months. You were positive, professional throughout and a joy to work with and I have no hesitation in working with you again should the need arise.

"Compassion and Patience"
In April my son was arrested, he was questioned for 48 hours in police custody and he was subsequently charged for conspiracy to supply drugs. We contacted Powell Spencer & Partners and within an hour we were called by Sandra Riordan (solicitor psp). Those initial 48 hours were extremely stressful, we didn’t know what was happening and couldn’t contact our son. At every stage Sandra Riordan talked us through what was happening and what to expect. It was not just myself or my husband she was supporting it was also my extended family in which she showed compassion and patience.
