Alan Watt, Watt Law
"I worked as a solicitor in the employment team at Livingstone Brown for 2 years, during which time Laura was my secretary, handling my dictation and legal aid invoicing.
Laura works with reliable cheer and a “can-do” approach. My dictation was typed with speed and accuracy. Laura has a good working knowledge of court and tribunal styles which helped communications run smoothly. I highly recommend her services."
