Strengths
Lucy is an extremely knowledgeable and dedicated individual who guided us through a very complex issue, calmly and professionally.
She really fights tooth and nail for her clients. In long-running disputes, it can be hard to sustain oneself and she has that perseverance.
The first telephone meeting with Lucy was like a beacon of hope. Lucy was knowledgeable, reassuring and took time to explain the processes involved in judicial review.
