"Through their hard work and perseverance, they got the police to agree on a settlement figure"
“My case was difficult because it was one against the police. I pitched my situation to various different law forms and none of them were prepared to take it on. It got to the point when I questioned my own victimhood. I eventually found GN Law who lent me a compassionate ear and were prepared to take my case. Through their hard work and perseverance, they got the police to agree on a settlement figure and although they were delaying payment even after agreement, GN Law were always chasing them up to ensure they comply. I have now received my settlement figure, and I am pleased.”
