Steene Law featured on BBC South East Today, 23 September 2019

Posted on Clare Spall After the shock of opening the letter from the OPG many months ago, we found David and Dianne Steene of Steene Law. They said there were experts, and, in our case, David assured us we would win after the very first phone call. Many twists and turns later, we achieved the right outcome in no small measure to their belief in us and their perseverance. David and Dianne are experts in every nook and cranny of this area of the law, so I would suggest to any Attorney under investigation by the Office of the Public Guardian that the first thing to do is give David and Dianne a call.Posted on Karen Bragg From suicidal to champagne! Last November, I had a letter from the OPG, which left me devastated after looking after my Father for nearly 20 years since my mum died. I was being investigated due to my Father being funded by the local authority. I employed the local solicitor to help complete the form, and I heard nothing from them for over seven months and I thought it was sorted until I got another letter in August asking further questions. As I had not been impressed by my Local solicitor contacted David and Diane, who took over my case and brought it to an end by contacting the OPG and sorting it out for me. I could not recommend them enough. Please do not spend thousands as I did on local solicitors who have no idea, and in my case, made a humongous error in their advice regarding filling in my form, which left me wide open. This is a specialised field, and you need experts like David and Diane. Contact them as soon as you get the letter, as I wished I had, I would not hesitate to call them again if I have any further correspondence from the local authority or the OPG. Last Christmas was ruined with this hanging over me, and it would have been the same this year; however, I am now able to celebrate with Champagne, knowing this is resolved. Thanks again, David and Diane, you are both amazing! Karen SuzannePosted on Geoff blick We approached Steene Law after receiving an 'investigation' letter from the OPG. David & Dianne were amazing from the first phone call, patiently talking us through all possibilities and calming our panic and stress. It's been a long process and without the support, knowledge, kindness and wealth of experience they have we wouldn't be where we are today. Thank you! Don't hesitate to make contact with this firm, they can and will help and support you, as they have us.Posted on andrew kerrich If you have ever been unfortunate enough to become involved in an OPG investigation, there is only one man you want in your corner, David Steene. His knowledge in this area is beyond peer, but what sets him apart is his humanity. He listens and owns your story. He comes up with a practical roadmap to a solution with empathy , firmness and skill. He knows this area like no one else and will be available and with you every step of the process. I could not recommend him highly enough 5 stars is not enough, and I feel very blessed to have found him. Gratitude and respect DavidPosted on Gill Fox Excellent understanding and advice regarding an unfounded OPG investigation into a Lasting Power of Attorney. Definitely worthwhile contacting David, his knowledge and experience are invaluable.Posted on Steve Piacenti I was recommended to David Steene by a client that had similar issues with their parents care and in particular funding issues with the Local Authority. The service I received from Steene Law was quick and very thorough, I am now in a position to move forward with a plan of action, having got nowhere with the Local Authority in 5 months. You can only get this help and advice from people that really care about the people they are working with. Thankyou David.Posted on Bilko I can't recommend David and the team enough for the superb advice they gave us regarding my elderly father-in-law. They were 100% Professional and gave thorough advice across the board and potentially saved us a lot of unnecessary stress. Definitely worth five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Posted on Trevor Millward Many thanks for all your advice and for pointing me to the best path for dealing with my contentious LPA problem, David. I'd happily recommend Steene Law to anyone.Posted on Ajay Shah Invaluable service and advice from David and Dianne. Later life care is a minefield, so it was good to get some initial advice from David as to how to plan our parent's affairs in order to best mitigate any issues further down the line. I would highly recommend them if this is an area of issue for anyone else.Posted on ADAM Hill David called me on a Sunday within hours of my enquiry. That was the surprising start of a very thorough, excellent service which was handled brilliantly on both a personal and professional level. Don’t think twice - have the initial meeting with David and Dianne. Very safe hands, extremely well managed. They moved us through a complex process with exactly the right amount of honesty, care and attention.
