“Ed was first recommended to us when we had a difficult corporate matter to deal with. Throughout the matter, Ed was always clear, precise and coherent, explaining often complex problems in a way that as a layman I could easily understand. As a result we have continued to use DTM for other corporate matters. I can thoroughly recommend DTM, and Ed in particular, as they offer a very professional service but always with the best advice.”
