Testimonials:

David Rainey - ‘has excellent judgment, superbly prepared and gets excellent results.'

David Rainey – ‘is a solicitor I would want acting for a member of my own family. He is conscientious and extremely detailed / hard working in his preparation of a case. He is compassionate with clients but still willing to give firm advice when necessary. He will always go the extra mile to try and get the right result for his client. When I work with him on a case it is always re-assuring to know that I have an independent and confident solicitor beside me who will properly challenge advice given and seek justification for it. In doing so the client is always confident that the position being taken has been fully considered’ 

“I was represented by David Rainey and his associate, and I could not have been any better looked after. Their knowledge and attention to detail was second to none”
