  • The service we received was absolutely fantastic and couldn’t be faulted. Clear, concise information and always by return of email which helped us so much through a very difficult and confusing time. We would never have had the positive outcome from the Appeal Hearing if it had not been for the help we received from Peter Renshaw at Potter Rees Dolan and we are so grateful.
