I worked with Katie during a settlement agreement case with an approaching termination date with my company, This case had a very tight deadline of a week to ensure everything was signed off and finalised, during this time from the initial phone call right until completion Katie had kept me regularly up to date with communications between my company and Smith Partnerships and during this time Katie was also able to negotiate to the first proposed Ex-Gratis payment of the settlement. I was extremely happy with the outcome and I would happily recommend Katie for services in the future.
