‘Georgie Hall listened and explained and held our hands through all of it. We spoke to many people who tried to tell us to not use a solicitor and just spend money on a barrister. We are absolutely clear that we would never have been able to get through the last few years without Georgie. She has been indispensable. We would not be where we currently are without Georgie and the rest of Prettys.’ Legal 500 [UK 2024]
