JE Bennett Law speak in a language that clients and families understand and adapt their style to the individual circumstances presented. It was no surprise that Jane won the honour of obtaining panel status for the Court of Protection, which many firms failed to do. This means that she now attracts recommendations from other solicitors across the UK too. Jane can also be found fronting expert panels for other deputies helping to answer more complex questions.
