The General Dental Council is to decide what sanctions to take against a dentist found guilty of breaking wind in front of colleagues and patients.

The GDC ruled that Matthew Walton also made rude comments about patients and made v-signs behind their back. The offences took place at his practice in Shropshire in 2006 and 2007. Nurse Carol Stokes, who used to work with Mr Walton, said: “The smell made us feel sick. But he found it funny.”

Leasa and Julie were excellent in helping my partner and I buy our first home. They set out expectations in the first instance, and kept us updated, and it felt as though they really were on our side throughout. Thank you! - February 2025

In my divorce I dealt with Teresa Davidson and Emily Bell. I found them both at all times to be professional, responsive and compassionate. Based on my experience I would not hesitate to recommend them for any divorce or family law related matter.
