Testimonial

I have known Steve for many years and recently he has supported us at the university with some difficult cases. He brings to investigations his background as a lawyer which means that he is always professional, focussed on the details and able to be completely objective. I have always valued his judgment and found him to be an excellent panel member. I would highly recommend his work.
