Family Law

Very responsive to my neurodivergent needs

Instructed flowing breakdown in trust with my previous representative. First meeting was with a partner and the lawyer that would be managing my case. Yes, this costs more, but it is really important for me as it helped me build my trust and confidence in the team. Communication is clear and helpful. I feel like I am being listened to and the firm clearly has knowledge and experience of supporting neurodivergent clients through an imperfect legal system that often lets down the vulnerable.
