Sally Barnett has recently received this wonderful thank you from her client which is a fine example of the service each and every one of the barristers at 2 New Street provides. "Dearest Sally,    I didn’t quite get to say thank you properly yesterday as it was a rollercoaster of a day.   Thank you so much for your help, you were so kind and you have a lovely calming aura about you. I am glad I had you as my Counsel.   I will most definitely recommend you to my family and friends, if they require such services.   Lots of warm wishes"   #2NewStreetChambers #ClientCare
