"Thank you so much for your calm headed approach to yesterday. I’m sure that was one of your toughest mediations. At the end of the night, Jo and I said it was your knowledge of boundaries, features and what is really relevant in a mediation that allowed a conclusion to be reached. We now have a settlement and can move on with our lives." May 2013

"We cannot thank Mr Vincent enough for all his help in obtaining payment of invoices we have had outstanding since July. He was very professional, very quick at responding to any correspondance and had a very nice manner about him.
We would highly recommend him. " December 2012

''Rarely have I ever experienced such a high degree of professionalism and quality of customer service than that provided by Grant Vincent - and an excellent final outcome too.'' February 2012

"I recommend DMC's services to anyone with a boundary dispute. We needed a professional opinion and DMC provided a solution and had unparalled expertise. DMC were very patient and were excellent value for money considering how much time and care went into their assessment." September 2012

"Mr Vincent was very professional throughout the process. I mentioned to him at the beginning that he was not going to succeed mediating with the other party but I was proved wrong as he was able to do so and in a timely manner. His mediation skills and knowledge of the process was very impressive.'' October 2011

''A very good service and very professional, shame a settlement could not be reached.'' August 2011

"Grant's knowledge of the situation and advice was excellent which meant that a very satisfactory agreement was reached. His diligence and professionalism was superb throughout. 110% recommended." June 2011

"Grant's skill and experience were invaluable and his incisive appraisal brought a categorical resolution to this boundary dispute to my satisfaction." June 2011

"You have been able to sort out in a few hours a dispute that has been on-going for over 3 years - well done."  - 2010

"I found that the whole process was clear and concise with lots of information available and pointed in the right direction for such. Costs were explained and available to check on the web site and support was excellent.
If I or any friend of mine ever requires your services in the future then you would be the first port of call." - 2010
