Husband had Ryan Downes represent him on a very recent Poca proceedings case, with a wealth of knowledge regarding every single angle of the proceeds of crime field, he was very thorough and direct, he not only represented my husband, but was there for me at any time with three thousand questions regarding my own poca proceedings, although he didn’t represent me he worked hard to get me a share in husbands home, as I wasn’t on the mortgage…..the cps were to confiscate the property but Ryan fought my corner and they agreed to a share being given to me, so overall we were happy and we wouldn’t have chose anyone else to guide us through such an awful time in our lives. So thank you Ryan, you truly are the best in your role. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Paul, ably supported by Vivienne, is fabulous. Any tasks we had to complete were clear and concise and communication was timely. This is the second time we’ve used Askews for a house sale and I won’t hesitate to use them again if needed.
