Divorce Proceedings - Finances & Custody
Divorce Proceedings - During a very difficult period where my ex partner was throwing around a lot of accusations Vicki always advised me to stay calm and replied to numerous baseless allegations in a very composed and cleverly worded manner and when harsher words were needed she would respond appropriately. During some extreme events Vicki got other solicitors in her company to advise where necessary and I felt I could count on the whole team @ Slater Heelis.
The advice and course of actions we took worked exactly like Vicki had advised, I was expecting a legal battle of at least 2 years but in less than 1 year we have wrapped up Custody and Finance agreements and I look forward now to the future.
Vicki was always efficient and timely when needed especially at the end when I needed quick turnaround on agreements between myself and my Ex as goalposts would constantly get moved. I was not always the easiest client and Vicki and her team always made sure I kept going forward.
Can't thank Vicki enough!

Persistence and tenacity are her middle names.
Half through trying to complete a divorce amicably myself all of a sudden I needed legal help, this is when I was introduced to Slater Heelis. After a quick introduction to one of their partners, I was quickly assigned council, Jodi and she did a marvellous job of straightening out the mess I was in.
Nature intervened and at very short notice, Corrie Gerrard had to step up the plate and what a wonderful impression she has made on me. Isn't it annoying when firms say they'll ring you back and don't? or that'll you'll be kept informed, and you hear nothing? Well you don't get that with Corrie! At all times I was kept informed of progress, issues that cropped up or things I needed to get on with myself.
More importantly are her virtues mentioned in the title; tenacity and persistence. Corrie had to deal with apathetic and unresponsive 3rd parties and consistently kept on grinding away at them until and even beyond deadlines to get the best outcome possible in my own particular case.
Corrie Gerrard is an asset to the company and a pleasure to deal with.
