“I engaged the services of Peter O'Connor & Sons Solicitors for the application of Decision Representative on behalf of my Father. Paul Murran was my acting Solicitor who made a relatively new and complicated process seem so easy.

Paul was a gentleman and was so efficient in getting the court order over the line. He put me at ease in the court room and with the efficiency in his submission of paperwork, the Judge sanctioned the application very quickly.

Thanks to Paul and Libby for all your help and for seeing me through this process.”
