“Marias reports are clear, concise and detailed. They identify and address the issues in question with clear evidence backed conclusions which stand up to judicial review that result in highly favourable decisions for the parent. She is a valuable part of our expert team. We would commend her work to any one seeking expert social worker support.”
Mr P, Legal Advocate
“This was always going to be a very sensitive and emotional task for me to have undertaken due to my mother's dementia and always wanting to go home even though it was not viable due to her mental and physical health. Maria came highly recommended and most certainly lived up to her reputation. She was so thoughtful caring but equally professional in dealing with every part. Not only did she make me feel comfortable and at ease with the assessment but also treated mum with both kindness and respect. Reassuring me afterwards with a phonecall to say how it went. I would highly recommend Maria. Always available and promptly replied to all my questions.”
Ms C, Lasting Power of Attorney
