What my clients say
"Hi Tim,
I hope you are ok and had a good journey back home yesterday. I just wanted to say a big THANKYOU !!!!
You were fan bloodytastic in that court room against the muppets OVH.
Im so glad we approached you for help. We all loved the banter and dry sense of humor, being a scouser you know we love all that haha.
You made a stressful day more relaxed and funny and I think we will get a good result too when the judge makes his final decision.
I will definately be recommending you.
Good luck in all you do Tim

"Dear Timothy,Thank you for the update. This is a great outcome and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your all your support and assistance on this matter. This is greatly appreciated and we will certainly come back to you in the future should we find ourselves in need of legal assistance. Thank you from everyone at Valour Finance! "
"Hi David
I would just like to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. For all your help and advice. For all your support by keeping constant contact with me and reassuring me each step of the way. But most of all for your recommendation or Mr Becker, throughout the court proceedings he was so calm, professional and clearly an expert in his field.
I would just like you both to know you have made a massive difference to all our lives especially my two sons who have suffered so much in the past few year. I could not recommend you enough to anyone.
May God bless you.
Thank you so so so much
Best wishes"
"Thanks very much for your help and guidance in securing Mr Becker's assistance with my bankruptcy case. You were right when you said he would pull a rabbit out of a hat when there seems to be no way. Mr Becker handled the defence of the hearing with his quick thinking and knowledge, swiftly securing the adjournment required in this case. The other side certainly didn't see it coming. It was very nice to have Mr Becker with his calm and composed manner talking me through what to expect and what steps to follow. I sincerely appreciate the help and support i have received and i am confident in Mr Becker's ability and expertise. I will continue to use his services and highly recommend him. I am very happy with his understanding of my case and what is required to resolve the case. The conscientious manner in which the hearing was handled is very commendable and the chats with Mr Becker certainly eased my nerves before and after the hearing. My sincere thanks to you and Mr Becker for your support and i look forward to working through the rest of the case with you."
"Good morning Timothy,
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to amend your Notice of Opposition however as I expected you have done a splendid job and I do not feel that there is anything we can add at this stage.
Yours sincerely,
Peter"
