What others say
"Katie Hickman stands out for us. Katie understood my difficult circumstances and acted compassionately and fairly. She was reliable and always got back to us promptly in our times of needs. She listened to our situation patiently. She handled the lease transfer negotiation with the landlord professionally. I would not have come through my crisis without her help and guidance. My practice is now thriving and I am happy. Until the lease runs out soon and we might have to ask her for help again!" - Legal 500
