"Sean Harrison, my solicitor throughout the LA care proceedings, did a terrific piece of work throughout my entire case. I was so very stressed because I felt my disability needs were being overlooked by the LA but Sean decided to handle seriously ensuring I understood every detail and that I had the right people to support me. I had a successful ending to my case and I recommend Sean highly."
