Excellent !!
Used Mr. Owen for a very significant court case. He was very professional, explained all legal information in an easy-to-understand way and presented all options. He worked hard on the case and kept all relevant parties informed. In the end, his hard work and knowledge of the law and court system proved to bring the best possible outcome in the case. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others.
