WHAT CLIENTS HAVE SAID
Claire Lamkin was my initial point of contact, and before engaging KN, she took the time to discuss my options thoroughly, offering clear, transparent, and informative guidance about the process. The consultation was free of charge, with no pressure or pretentious sales tactics. My case was later managed by Peter Paul, who demonstrated great patience and ensured all timelines were met by providing prompt and consistent updates. I always felt confident that my affairs were being handled with care and professionalism. I am deeply grateful for the team’s professionalism, patience, advice, and support throughout what was a tedious case. Although my matter was relatively small compared to some of their high-profile clients, I was never made to feel any less important — I genuinely felt that my best interests were always their priority."
