Jackie was amazing: she took time to completely understand our case. It was a very complex case. Jackie always explained everything extremely well, took time to make sure we understood what was happening and why, and took time to answer any questions we had. She was always available when we needed support and advice, and I always felt she understood us, all the medical advice plus the legalities around the case.
