He always ensured to explain legal processes clearly and thoroughly to me, informing me of actions and next steps I was required to take as part of the legal process. Alex always responded very timely throughout and delivered on what he said he would and within the timeframes he advised. He kept me up to date regularly and acted compassionately throughout.
