Testimonials
We would like to pass our thanks for the introduction to barrister Rebecca Hodgkin. What was expected to be a straightforward case felt increasingly complex and became somewhat nerve wracking. We were fully supported throughout the process by Rebecca in her calm yet focussed and totally professional manner. Considering we met only on the Monday to start a three-day Tribunal on the Wednesday, to then win the case on the Friday – speaks volumes about Rebecca’s ability.
I am always fascinated to watch a true professional in any activity fully focused at work. In your case, I had never seen a Court in action before and amid the anxiety I had no idea what to expect, but the way you and the Judge interacted was utterly extraordinary, almost as if in a completely different language. I think above all else it was the way in which you just seemed to completely understand each other, unlike what I remember I saw from our opponent, who apparently had very little idea, and was clearly very poorly prepared to say the least. Absolute top marks to you! Obviously I was not privy to the more recent contest, but I can just imagine how you would have handled it. Impeccably.
I have to say that I continue to be impressed with the TBG service and I am extremely pleased that Rebecca Hodgkin is so attentive, thorough and a pleasure to deal with.
