The building is of historical value as it is an Edwardian Baroque Grade II listed building.

Over the moon with the service CKE Law provided. Charles did both mine and my sons car accident claim. My cheque came 8 weeks after the crash which I am more than happy with. Did not expect such a fast turn around.

What can I say apart from thank you! I was owed a lot money from someone and thought I would have to write it off! Thanks to Charles I got it all back plus interest. He told me what he was going to do and he did it - it was that simple!
