Just wanted to express my thanks for the invaluable help in prepping me for the interviews. I am currently in equal measure delighted, shocked and relieved with the positive outcome.

I will recommend you unhesitatingly to any colleagues asking for advice ahead of their own applications!

I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all of your help, guidance and therapy (!) during this process. I have told quite a few others about how different the first version of my form was to the submitted version – they really were chalk and cheese. The way you went about it all was so appreciated.

Thank you SO much for all your help with this. It made such a difference. Getting the form into shape up against the deadline, and then your superb advice on the interviews and information that would assist.

I will be passing on what incredible insight you both have and also what a pleasure it is to prepare with you.

I found my mock interview with you both very informative and exceptionally useful.

I have heard of a number of people who were seen as certainties who have not succeeded and I am sure that in many cases it will have been because they did not have the kind of guidance you gave me on the application form, interview, choice of referees etc. etc. etc. So thanks again for all your help and support; although we will never know for sure I think it may well have been critical to the outcome.

I have had so many lovely letters and emails that I have failed to thank you when I should have done so already. What you provided was professionalism, cool analysis and excellent confidence building. May I thank you most sincerely and encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. As you know barristers are a funny bunch, at once confident in their own abilities yet lacking in so many other ways. Your service is like a well prepared set of instructions: no spare copies, no messy presentation, no misguided flannel, just the core documents and focus in the issues.

Thank you so, so much for all your help. I have been telling everyone (i) not to leave it to the last moment to write the form and (ii) to at the very least get some interview training. I hope that you will be very busy next year with my friends! Your help was invaluable.

I am not allowed to tell you about the content of my interview; but I think that I am allowed to tell you that the preparatory session that you gave me proved to be very appropriate. I would need a lot more practice to be good at the techniques; but I hope that, thanks to your help, I will not get any more practice! I am grateful to you both.

I have just heard that my application for Silk has been successful. I wanted to let you know because I found your guidance, advice and support throughout the process absolutely invaluable. I am immensely grateful to you both for your sound judgement.

Thank you for such an informative and helpful session. Some of these issues can be challenging but you helped me to think about what I can do, practically, when I face them.
