Resolving paternity doubts

When doubts emerge about a child's biological parentage, it often prompts a quest for clarity. This journey, may often be initiated by the child's mother or the purported father, to confirm or refute the child's lineage.

Our team is equipped to guide you, not only in navigating these uncertainties but also in understanding and undertaking DNA testing procedures.

While many of these concerns find resolution outside the courtroom, rest assured that should you require legal representation in court, we're prepared to stand by your side.

I wanted to thank you and your colleagues for many years of excellent service to the Bank. You have an outstanding business that has proved to be one of the most reliable and ethical businesses that Collections have dealt with in the almost 9 years I was with the Bank.

I have engaged with a number of the people in the firm and always found them professional, punctual in their responses and very sound in the advice provided.
