Ed Turner Ed Turner Solicitors Ed Turner I instructed Louise and BarnsChapel to draft a Costs Budget for my client embroiled in an Unfair Prejudice Petition in the High Court. The parties filed Costs Budgets in the region of £100K. Louise gave me and my client an expert and bespoke service that was second to none. Louise took a proactive approach to drafting my client’s Costs Budget and responding to the other party’s and added significant value to my client’s position in the litigation. I can highly recommend Louise and BarnsChapel’s services. Ms. P Litigant in Person Litigant in Person Louise was very professional, competent, and exceptionally helpful. She showed genuine concern for my stressful predicament. She swiftly negotiated the other sides costs for them to withdraw their legal case against me. If it wasn’t for Louise, I would have been taken to court with high risks of ending up with a criminal record, losing my career and facing bankruptcy, due to the extortionate legal fees from the other side. Thank you again Louise for enabling me to get the best outcome in an appalling situation caused by my previous solicitors.
