“I have used TBI (Helen Dexter) for more than 10 years for a range of legal services. Helen recently completed a rather complicated sale for me and, despite many setbacks caused by third parties, she remained calm and professional at all times. Helen is approachable and friendly which makes dealing with the legal profession that much easier! In addition, TBI acted for my parents when they set us a trust, my parents were getting elderly and I know they appreciated the way they were dealt with and the sound advice given. I'd also like to mention the admin staff, who have always been very efficient and courteous. I wholeheartedly recommend TBI in Barney.”
