Peter Haney, an accredited police station representative, has also joined the firm.

Astraea Legal’s director and co-founder Nama Zarroug commented: ‘We’ve been overwhelmed with the launch it’s far surpassed our expectations. Welcoming Jeremy and Peter to the team means we’re able to keep up our phenomenal growth for the rest of the year.’
