"I just wanted to express my deep gratitude to TM Costings for their handling of my case from start to finish. Toby and Ruth were both very sympathetic and understanding of the way my case and fees had been handled by my previous Matrimonial Solicitors. Throughout, they were always on top of my case and understood what had taken place with such clarity. Through their professionalism and outstanding knowledge of the law and case law, their negotiations with the other side resulted in them agreeing to settle Out of Court securing one hundred percent of what I had previously been overcharged, along with all of the legal fees I had paid in trying to get this matter resolved! I was personally recommended to use their services and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in a position where they feel the legal fees they have been charged are either not fair or transparent."Sarah Margetts
