Finding practical ways to resolve complex legal problems makes property disputes so rewarding for Mike. His interest in problem solving is often usefully employed when keeping his 44 year old classic car working!
“Property is an essential asset for many people. It is very important that they know they can protect that asset in the face of challenge. Sometimes people involved in property disputes have an on-going relationship, such as a landlord and tenant or as neighbours. It is always satisfying to help them come up with a practical solution so they can move forward.”
Mike has been independently recommended by leading legal directory, Legal 500, where clients said he ‘refuses to be beaten’. [Legal 500 2011 quote]
