Would highly recommend Esme
Esme has been a great support for myself through all of the proceedings that had taken place.
Esme has been very informative and responsive through the whole process and helpful when I had needed support or advice on anything.
I am very grateful to have had Esme representing myself through a very difficult process and helped myself and my children to have the best outcome.
Esme is an approachable person who gives clear communication and sensible advice when needed.
If Esme was unavailable to respond to anything from myself I was reassured that there was another member of her team who would respond to me, they would reply very quickly.

Highly recommend
Was very supportive throughout proceedings for me and my son. I was able to call and speak to either esme, Philippa or Kieran when a question came up. As an overthinker I had a lot of these moments, but they stayed consistent and supportive throughout. Austin who represented me on behalf of ring rose was amazing and spoke for me and my son.

Thank you for everything..
I just wanted to write a few words, thanking Esme and her team for her consistent, empathetic, compassionate approach during my proceedings which were lengthy and arduous in nature. She had a forensic knowledge of my case and gave excellent, timely and appropriate advice which resulted in a safe outcome for myself and my son.. I would highly recommend Esme to anyone who is requiring advice in complex family law proceedings..
