Posted on Martin Winfield Absolutely outstanding very helpful on such a complex case would definitely recommend them thanks DavidPosted on Russell I cannot thank David and his team enough for all the guidance and expertise over the issues caused by the local authority and care home relating to my mother. David put my mind at ease over contractual obligations and acted very quickly to resolve. I would not hesitate to recommend David and his company to anyone struggling with Care Homes, Local Authority’s and the OPG.Posted on Gavi Sandhu I found David Steele very passionate about his role. In fact he called me on a Sunday to take down some details. In my desperation not knowing how far an OPG investigation can go or take he was very re assuring. In fact I was told how the events would pan out in advance as I was in territory which was foreign to me. David was right in what he said and predicted. My mother’s case ended up being heard at the high court due to abuse by a family member who obtained the attorney ship . I found David on google and have stayed in contact for almost the last 2 years. I’m very re assured and although the outcome is not what any of us family members wanted in the end it took away the mental and financial abuse that could see. I just didn’t know how to go about it not sure if my accusations would be taken seriously etc but luckily David has no doubt heard cases like mine many times. I thank David for his knowledge and experience it really came through from the initial contact , his enthusiasm and drive I really admired from the outset and to call me Sunday morning to discuss it was a real bonus. How many professionals call on a Sunday ? I’m very grateful to him. I really 100 pc recommend his services he will hold your hand and re assure you and manage your expectations. I can’t praise him highly enough. Thankyou David very much. Will remain in contact with youPosted on Susan Field We are extremely grateful for the advice and guidance we received. Everything was explained clearly, and we were given a realistic and balanced view of the possible outcomes, which helped us make an informed decision. Although we ultimately decided not to proceed due to the risks and financial uncertainty involved, the candid and thoughtful advice we received was invaluable. We truly appreciated the openness, reassurance, and support during a very difficult time. Highly recommended for anyone seeking clear, professional, and honest advice.Posted 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 John S We cannot thank David at Steene Law enough for all the time he gave us, we did not ever feel rushed by David and he understood our situation perfectly. We feel we can now progress, being aware of all the nuances around deprivation of assets. We are now fully briefed on the approach that we should take and are so grateful we spoke with David because he has helped us to avoid making a mistake which would very likely have impacted us financially in the future. We would thoroughly recommend Steene Law, they have kept our costs to a minimum and we feel that our interests were always at the heart of their approach; in short, Steene Law have been unbelievably caring and considerate.Posted on Gloria Marojevic I am immensely thankful to have discovered Steene Law Solicitors. After experiencing considerable uncertainty regarding the process of advocating for my parents, David has proven to be exceptionally helpful and highly professional. I feel a significant relief as I am reassured by the understanding that, without question, David is undoubtedly an exceptional solicitor in this area of expertise.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.
