REVIEWS:

“Went to see Alan in 2019 with a tricky situation at work. His advice was reassuring, practical and pragmatic. He didn’t beat his chest like some lawyers and shout ‘they can’t do this’, or ‘we will sort this out’, he very calmly asked what I wanted, and then gave me some simple options. When it started to get difficult with work, as we expected it would, Alan was always there, offering sage advice, and being a rock in what would otherwise have been super stressful. Like all experts, he doesn’t shout about it and his advice seems to come from a position of strength from very in-depth knowledge.” –Bob Boblins
