P.R. of Sussex re Intellectual Property Rights dispute
“Thank you once again for the meeting which was very informative especially when you were faced with such a complex case.”
J. S. of London re Business Investment Fraud value £15,000.
I’m really pleased I found Dick Bollard (thefraudadvisor). He was thorough, professional and did not fill me with false hopes while at the same time, through his years of experience, managed to identify a vital document which may bring about a positive result for me. More than anything he gave me a course of action to focus on, rather than me wasting a lot of effort on areas that are unlikely to yield anything. I highly recommend you have a chat with him if you are not sure what to do about a possible fraud.
