Dani was extremely understanding of our needs and very clear with answers to queries and explanations of legal terminology. She made us feel comfortable and was easy to converse with, and we felt she really was assisting/advising us

Some time ago I wanted legal advice over quite a minor matter. Rix & Kay were the ONLY solicitors willing to give me this very brief advice over the telephone without requiring me to make an appointment. Because of this, we used Rix & Kay for a relative, and I have used them recently.
