Excellent Advice
My experience with Laura was first class. Everything was explained to me in a clear and comprehensive way. There were some difficult decisions to take but Laura guided me through everything and was kind and caring in her approach. Laura was always timely with her responses and fully understood my needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura.

Process and conclusion of Separation Agreement
A rather involved - finance, real estate (stamp duty, capital gains, Land Registrary) - separation agreement that evolved over a number of years (due to client discussion), was resolved with patience and expertise. The lawyer acting for me LC, had on occasion been required to prompt the other party’s lawyer to engage with the process. The final agreement, as sad as the process was for both sides, is comprehensive, clear and mutually satisfactory and constructed with compassion and skill.

Professional and Persistent Approach for Successful Conclusion
Entering into divorce is not somewhere I thought I would ever be. There is a complete mix of emotions and no doubt each person's own balance of feelings is unique to them. When all is said and done, the process of mediation needs to be tackled and done so objectively. I cannot praise enough the patience, professionalism and persistence of the team at Consilia to objectively keep the process on track. I am certain that it is not easy for them to keep both parties focussed on reaching a position of agreement. However I felt that they did this as best as they possibly could, and whilst being sympathetic to the emotionally draining situation one can feel during divorce mediation. I thank Consilia for their expert, compassionate and professional help. I would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Consilia were you to find yourself in the unfortunate position I found myself in.

New client recommendation
As a new client and residing in another city, this was my first experience using Consilia Legal Leeds and I can highly recommend! I never needed to step foot in the office, emails were efficient and transparent and I could always pick up the phone and speak to Laura or Zara if I had any queries.
