Antony Hodari Legal Services: Antony Hodari Solicitors are a very niche firm covering just one specific case type within the area of litigation - housing disrepair.

Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: If this were a Family Fortunes game, the top answer as to why someone chose a firm would be ethusiasm.

Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: But it can get confusing for those stepping into the arena for the first time.
