Mark Harrison and Karen Minhas care greatly about the job they do and the service they provide to their clients. Their cases are thoroughly prepared and nothing is ever missed or too much trouble to resolve. They are second to none.

It was clear that her expertise proved to be enormously successful. All such application was carried out with great kindness and her advice was given with clarity and candour which I appreciated very much.

Karen Minhas genuinely goes above and beyond the call of duty; the firm is very fortunate to have someone so committed.

Karen Minhas is loyal, focused and appears to have no off-switch. You don’t see employee dedication like this often in life.
