Confidentiality is key in my profession. In addition to the legally protected aspects of my client's case, confidentiality also covers the fact of legal consultation and representation of a client. Mutual confidence is the basis for my work in consulting and representing my clients. Without my client's consent I will not publish any details or names as a reference for my work.
