- Shontel SiteraA massive thank you to Meegan and Tim for all their support and for getting me such an amazing outcome. I wasn’t sure at the time if I wanted to go through the claim with all the extra stress on top of the accident but when I contacted Meegan she was so supportive and took me through the process step by step and took a lot of stress off me. Both Meegan and Tim always kept me well informed throughout the claim and the negotiation and I cannot thank them enough for the amazing outcome they got me. I strongly recommend going to the team at Preston Law for any compensation claim or advice. Thank you both again.
