McCormicks keep legal aid contract

McCormicks Solicitors of Harrogate have retained their contract with the Legal Aid Agency to provide legal services to provide duty solicitors.

Legal Aid Agency said clients gave “very positive” feedback on their service.

Head of McCormicks’ Crime and Fraud department Peter Minnikin.

Peter Minnikin said:

“The comments are a testimonial to the hard work and dedication of my colleagues. We think it is incredibly important to continue with this type of work that supports people at some of the most difficult times of their lives. The recent independent reports show that we continue to deal with this work to a very high standard.”
