I recently used Askews for a negligence case involving a previous conveyancer, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Neenu handled my case and was exceptionally professional, responsive, and supportive throughout what was a challenging and often frustrating situation.Neenu's clear communication, patience, and practical advice helped navigate a complicated legal process with confidence. I felt reassured at every step, knowing my case was in capable hands. Thank you again to Neenu and the team at Askews for their dedication and expertise.

Askews legal team helped me with my defamation case, they were brilliant at their service and I am so happy that I chose Askews. My lawyer, Candice was not only very professional she was also very empathetical towards my situation which I needed the most during my difficult time.
