However, after speaking with her for just five minutes, she was able to grasp the complexity of the situation and provided me with compassion and understanding. I felt instantly supported and heard. Nastassi gave me the opportunity to express myself and provided a listening ear, allowing me to get everything off my chest before moving forward. She not only recommended a barrister who she believed could help, but also presented me with other options. When my hearing date changed, a refund was provided without question. When a new date was confirmed, Nastassi promptly rebooked the original barrister. Throughout the process, Nastassi was always available if I needed her, responding to emails and phone calls promptly. Her consistent compassion and kind nature made the entire process less daunting for me. I am forever grateful.” Read more Read less
