What clients say:
“I suffered a head injury that led to a long post-concussive recovery period. At a time when I was most vulnerable, I relied on Kerry Grieve’s support to keep me focused on key matters of my claim. Kerry was compassionate, meticulous, patient, knowledgeable and clear. Her advice got me through the legal maze when I couldn’t have navigated alone.”
