Exceptional Service - Kate Butler

I cannot thank Kate Butler enough for the support, guidance and reassurance she provided throughout my divorce. From the outset, Kate approached every aspect of my case with compassion, empathy and genuine understanding. Divorce is an emotionally challenging process, and there were times when I found it overwhelming, but I always felt listened to, respected and supported. What I particularly appreciated was Kate's ability to explain complex legal and financial matters in a clear and accessible way. Every option was carefully explained, together with the potential implications, which enabled me to make informed decisions with confidence. Kate's approach was always thoughtful, measured and highly professional. She never sugar-coated difficult issues or simply told me what I wanted to hear. Instead, she provided honest, realistic and well-reasoned advice, which was invaluable during a period when emotions sometimes affected my judgment. I was consistently impressed by her patience, attention to detail and willingness to answer questions thoroughly, no matter how many times I needed reassurance or clarification. She demonstrated a genuine understanding of both the legal and personal aspects of my situation and always managed to balance firmness with kindness. Throughout the process, I felt that my interests were being carefully protected while also being guided towards sensible, constructive and proportionate outcomes. Her advice was always pragmatic, fair and well considered. What made my experience particularly exceptional, however, was the strength of the team around her. On the occasions when Kate was unavailable, Jane Weston seamlessly stepped in. Despite not being my primary solicitor, Jane displayed exactly the same professionalism, empathy, knowledge and attention to detail. Remarkably, she always seemed fully informed about my case and never left me feeling that I was starting the conversation again or having to explain matters from the beginning. That continuity of service was incredibly reassuring and speaks volumes about the way the firm operates. It is rare to find a team where two professionals can provide such a consistently high standard of care and support. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate Butler, Jane Weston and the firm as a whole to anyone facing divorce proceedings. Their expertise, integrity, compassion and professionalism have been exceptional, and I am genuinely grateful for the support I received throughout one of the most difficult periods of my life. You should be very proud of both Kate and Jane. They are a credit to the firm.

Divorce support

I used Kate Butler as my solicitor for my divorce Right from the start she gave me confidence and support when I needed it. I needed it a lot. She was my rock and handled the difficult times for me when I really struggled to cope. Kate recommended a brilliant barrister and gave me brilliant advice I couldn’t have got through my divorce without her positivity and constant support

Look no further.

Kate Butler assisted me for the last few years in a very difficult and complicated family matter concerning an ex-partner and our shared children. We have negotiated the MOST difficult allegations from the Mother, including child battery and peadophilia amongst many many more (all proven false of course). Kate's counsel has been invaluable and her intiate knowledge of the history of the case is nothing less than staggering. On a number of occasions Kate remembered details from years ago that I had almost forgotten. With Kate's assistance, despite all the serial malicious allegations from the Mother, we recently acheived full 50/50 shared care of the children having started from the Mother's position being the children should not have a relationship with their Father outside a child contact centre. When it all began I employed a different family law solicitor. When I engaged Kate instead everything started to turn around, and to acheive this shared residency order is a result I would never have believed was possible at the beginning. Kate is not just good with the law, she is a true master of sensible advice on how to deal with an ex-partner like I have. I could not make a higher reccomendation. If you suffering domestic abuse at the hands of ex-partner, or your children are being weaponised against you, Kate is the one who can help. If you are anyone else considering any sort of family law proceedings - Kate will also I am sure exhibit the same attenton to detail and talent in her work as she did with us. Thank you again. You have massively improved the life prospects for my children.
