Mum and dad have asked that I send a quick email to you to pass along their thanks for all the work you did on getting their case settled. It has been a huge relief to them to have the matter finally dealt with and for them to feel like they can move on from the drama. Personally, I'd also like to pass on my thanks as I have seen first hand the stress they were under. The settlement is both a moral and financial victory in many regards for them and I cannot thank you enough for your efforts. Hopefully we'll not need legal services in the Nelson district again - but if we do, your number will be the first we call.
