Testimonials
‘Thank you for the work you put in, I couldn't have expected to go any smoother and your attention has been very much appreciated.’
Marion Diable
‘Today, we all want bright, capable and professional people either acting for us, or supporting us and Justin is one of those few trusted professionals that is all of those things, plus being a pleasure to work and communicate with too. I have worked with Justin on both residential and commercial real estate transactions and also treated him in a “Private Office” capacity for any legal issues resulting from both my professional and personal family life and he has gone above and beyond in all situations to help advise and efficiently reach a conclusion. My recommendation of Justin comes without hesitation and in full confidence.’
Edward de Mallet Morgan
Partner, Knight Frank
‘Justin has acted on a variety of matters for us, from the complex to the more mundane, all of which he approaches with the same professional skill, judgement and efficiency. I would highly recommend Justin.’

Director, Brookestone Ltd.
‘I have known Justin Neal since 2007, when both myself and my company, LPS Direct(UK), engaged with him at Harris Cartier. We continued to work with Justin at Gordon Dadds, later renamed INEC. Very happy to confirm that both myself and my family will continue to rely on Justin following his new appointment with gunnercooke. At all times, we have found Justin to be very professional, easy to approach and amazingly swift in his responses. His advise is both precise & concise and very accurate. Amongst his many great characteristics is his high standing in both legal and business communities together with excellent range of connections.’
Michael O'Dwyer
Owner/Director, LPS Direct Ltd
