8. CLIENTS REVIEWS -01 Settlement Successfully Negotiated We only wish we had involved him earlier! We fell into a dispute over the findings of a ground study and no longer wanted to complete our French property purchase. We felt that French Law supported our case but were unable to persuade the seller, and the notaire was unhelpful. We quickly became comfortable communicating our position in English and trusting M. Traesch to represent us to the other parties. He successfully negotiated the return of our deposit at a reasonable cost. Mike C. London, UK

9. CLIENTS REVIEWS -02 Get the money which belonged to us Unpaid Rent French Lease Back We were so lucky to find Adrienne, who rescued us from our leaseback problems. After lies, misinformation, and delays from the developer, Adrienne protected us, and was able to get the money which belonged to us. The French legal system is fair, but difficult to understand for foreigners. Adrienne’s legal skills, her persistence on our behalf, and her ability to communicate perfectly in English were a tremendous benefit. We highly recommend her. Jack & Chris Arizona (USA)

10. CLIENTS REVIEWS -03 Fighting my corner Unpaid Rent of a Leaseback Property My “flat” is split into 2 self-contained rooms. I had a phone call with the manager, who was claiming that he is not the tenant! (liquidation and change of company), litigation was the only way. I employed the services of Bruno Traesch. He has been very efficient in fighting my corner. We have won all our court cases … I would seriously recommend his services to you all. Nick England, United Kingdom
