From start to finish I was guided and helped by Ruth, Max and Josh with great sympathy and professionalism. Without their guidance and tenacity I would not have recovered my funds. Thank you very much for all your hard work which paid off.
Ruth, Josh, Avi and the rest of the Ruth & Rogers team have been extremely helpful and professional in dealing with my case. Their expert legal knowledge, coupled with their persistence to do right by their clients, has made my decision to instruct Ruth & Rogers one of the best I could have possibly made. Nic in particular has gone above and beyond multiple times to ensure I get the settlement I required. A great firm with great people!
