Testimonial

“Right from the start Kerry was incredibly supportive and gave fantastic service. She was extremely good at cutting the wheat from the chaff in a very emotive situation, and ensured that all dealings with my ex-partner’s solicitor were factual and professional. I have used the services of solicitors before and this is the first time I’ve dealt with someone who genuinely cared. She made me feel valued as a client, always returned my calls and emails quickly and helped me keep my sanity through a very difficult time. I hope that I don’t have to use Kerry’s services again but I would certainly recommend her to anyone who does need to”. Detective Constable, Nottinghamshire Police
Testimonial

“I also wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your outstanding professional support throughout my divorce, financial proceedings and house transfer/purchase. You have always been 100% responsive to my questions and issues and a constant reassuring anchor through very dark and difficult times. If you had not pulled out “all the stops” I would not be in my house now!” Deborah from Stockport.
Testimonial

“Kerry Russell was extremely professional and offered not only her expertise but also the feeling that she cared about the customer and would go the extra mile. Miss Russell is a credit to Gorvins”. Police Sergeant, Surrey Police.
