Sugare & Co
Daniel has recently represented us during a family court matter. we cannot thank Daniel enough for the work he has done for us. From our first meeting with Daniel we were put at ease simply by his professionalism and expertise within family law. He is a friendly, approachable person who listens carefully so he can gain as much knowledge surrounding the case as possible. Daniel worked hard in court to get the right result, not only for us but also our little boy.
The service Daniel provides is second to none and we cannot recommend him enough.
Thank you again Daniel.
Mark BeddisDaniel has represented me in the family court over the past 10 months.
I felt he was extremely supportive throughout the case. He maintained a high level of professionalism and was easy to work with.
Daniel worked well to manage my expectations and I would definitely recommend his services.
Thank you
Aisha IsmailDaniel and his father Anthony represented me in two recent cases. Daniel dealt with my family law case which lasted over a year.
Daniel has an excellent attention to detail and adopts a pragmatic attitude. I was very pleased with his level of service and professionalism. He considers the interest of his clients to be most important, but also presents the reality of the circumstance.
Over the year, he has made excellent recommendations and I felt his collaboration with the chosen barrister (Aelred Hookway) was very successful in all aspects. Highly recommended.
