5 Stars almost seem not enough!!
“I have referred a couple friends to Delaney Roberts who were both disappointed and disenfranchised with their current representation. Clare McAteer handled their matters and the feedback I got from them was that Clare was nothing short of exceptional! She was attentive, professional as well as kind and empathetic in what was very emotional and difficult times for them.”

Anna made me feel like I was in control.
“Anna talked me through to procedures required, organized all the paperwork involved and made me feel like I was in control. She knew exactly what had to be done and kept in touch through the entire process. I found her to be very understanding and professional during this rather difficult time in my life.”
