“When my father Maurice Douglas Williamson (MDW) sadly passed away in December 2017 he was greatly assisted by the Harlington Hospice. I am delighted that, through MDW Solicitors, we will be able to support their work by donating a portion of fee income to the hospice if, upon instruction, a client advises that they came to us via any marketing provided by the hospice. This will help fund the care of other families and loved ones at this very difficult time.”
