What Clients Say:
I attended two DG Legal seminars recently. Both were excellent, providing great detail on all aspects of reviews in Legal Aid. The seminar was invaluable in providing a guide to ensure that all files fully comply and meet audit requirements.
The speaker Jon was extremely knowledgeable using first hand experience in respect to peer reviews.The handouts were of a good quality and both seminars proved to be well worth the effort to attend. DG Legal continue to lead the way in dealing with any issues in respect of Legal Aid.
