"Written on behalf of my wife Karen, to express her grateful thanks for the hard work and continuous efforts put in by Guy Mitchell to get a positive result in the case. Over the past 36 months he has kept her informed, supported and up to date with the issues and given realistic and honest responses to her questions and requests. He was very understanding of the concerns she had. Finally bringing about a favourable conclusion and settlement to allow closure to the case. Many thanks again to all concerned." Karen
