Testimonials

I was introduced to Linda some years ago by a senior member of the Bar with whom I had worked over many years.  He gave her the highest recommendation for a difficult case on which I had recently been instructed.  Over subsequent years I have worked closely with Linda on a number of cases, but in particular two extraordinarily difficult planning and enforcement cases, both of which had been appealed unsuccessfully, one twice and the other to the High Court.  On the papers they seemed hopeless cases, but with her extraordinary knowledge of public law as well as planning law, both eventually were brought to a successful conclusion.  Without her expertise, persistence and a healthy degree of scepticism to ensure a well-researched and robust case, these results would not have been achieved.

“I also observed Linda working with senior and junior counsel, whose respect she patently and quickly earned.  Those liaisons were essential especially when the cases came before the Courts.

“As a planning and economic consultant of many years, I have worked with a number of planning law solicitors.  I say unreservedly that the most productive of these associations has been with Linda.  She is approachable both in and out of normal working hours, ready to both inform, advise and to challenge when the occasion demanded.  She will not accept what might seem an obvious point without subjecting it to intense scrutiny and an intellectual approach that examines propositions from all perspectives.  In short, she has an open mind, and can be relied upon to see and warn of hidden dangers in a case that others may well have missed as well as having the ability to lead a way through what appear to be intractable difficulties.

“It has been a privilege to work with her, and she has served my clients with unparalleled ability, diligence, integrity and intellectual honesty, but above all, with outstandingly successful outcomes.
