What clients say:
Fiona was fabulous! I was stuck in a difficult family matter and was out of my depth. She organised me, explained in easy to understand English what I had to do and when. She was super responsive and didn’t ever give up on my fight even at times I felt like doing just that! I was facing wasted costs of over £5k and 2 court hearings which was due to my bully of an ex-husband yet she kept me calm, we didn’t go to court and she saved me nearly all of my costs. Thank you Fiona, you kept me sane and saved me a lot of expense!” Lucy, Bristol
“I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Fiona and the team for dealing with my matter so swiftly. Even under a difficult circumstance, such as a divorce, it was a pleasure dealing with such a professional and diligent solicitor. Please convey my appreciation to Fiona for making this process as straightforward and painless as possible”. Rachel, London
