DRN family team awarded Legal Aid 'Excellence' review rating

DRN’s leading Family Law team have achieved an Excellence review rating following an independent external review of their work by the Legal Aid Agency. 

“Excellence” is the number one rating that can be achieved by a legal team during a Legal Aid Agency audit. The full list of ratings is as follows:

excellence (1) competence plus (2) threshold competence (3) below competence (4) failure in performance (5)

To gain this exemplary rating, 25 files from DRN were requested by the Legal Aid Agency. These files were chosen at random, and were then independently reviewed by an external assessor. Their comprehensive report concluded with positive findings in all areas, including:

Advice tailored to clients Linked advice and client referrals Proactive steps were taken on behalf of clients Client’s needs being met Keeping clients up to date with developments

All of the above findings were met with a glowing report, as well as a host of additional positive findings.
