After engaging and dismissing numerous solicitors over the last ten years, we have finally found 'our solicitor' in David Newhouse. David is thorough, efficient and above all communicates freely in simple language. In a recent purchase of a franchise, we suddenly found a minefield of potential risks expose themselves. David calmly collected all the information and laid out our options clearly. He kept us fully informed of changes in the situation at all times.
