“Naomi Ireson settled us immediately from the outset of our Estoppel claim. We had never had dealings with a legal representative in the past, but Naomi made what was a very stressful situation for us easier to deal with by effectively explaining our legal position, and her action plan. She was always quick to respond if we didn’t understand something, kept us informed as to when she would make contact with us – she was just completely awesome throughout.”
