From the moment we got in touch with Jo, she provided us with the utmost respect and provided us with excellent, expert advice. Her responses were prompt, professional and beneficial. Jo has a friendly, patient and helpful manner and this allowed us to feel at ease and trust her wholly in solving the situation we found ourselves in. Without her support and guidance, We would not be in the positive position we are in today. We will forever be thankful for Jo’s attention and time. We highly recommend Jo Walia at Van Eaton solicitors. Jo exceeded our expectations and we always felt as though she was always had our best interest at the core of her advice.
