    TESTIMONIALS

    During my divorce I felt that Duncan Lawrie were the most professional and kindest people on my side. It meant a lot to me. The work you have done, and are doing, is correct and clear. I want you to know that I am hugely grateful for your help so far.

    That was as a Programme Manager. After I started at my current client I got a call from my HSBC agent - Senior Project Manager: £690.

    Weird or what...
