Report
We contacted Barker Gotelee Solicitors with a very complicated Trust set up by Universal Wealth Management (who we later reported to the Fraud Squad) and were assigned Ann-Marie Matthews to handle our case. Her knowledge was extensive and her professionalism in making the process as simple as possible for us to understand was second to none. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ann-Marie; a thoroughly pleasant experience in, what could have been a very stressful situation. Many thanks to Anne-Marie Matthews!
