Client feedback

Nicky Rothery of Rothery’s Coaches said:

“The Rothery family recently required the services of a lawyer to assist with the sale of our business.  Not knowing anyone directly that specialises in our sector, our accountant suggested Maria Capati at Piper Alderman.  We are so glad that we made that choice.  Maria (along with her team at PA) is wonderful to deal with.  She guides you through the sometimes difficult process with ease, always keeping you informed about any and all developments that occur; and always with the best outcome for her client in mind.  Maria is prompt to return correspondence and happy to answer the most basic questions of legal novices such as ourselves.  We couldn’t recommend Maria highly enough.”
