I have been working with Fiona for a number of years now, and she remains one of my main "go to" solicitors, as she is very thorough and diligent in her approach. Fiona is very experienced and knowledgeable, and I value her guidance and advice with cases. She helps keep me focused on the main issues and gives me valuable legal advice on how best to proceed in children's best interests. Fiona is also very personable and approachable.
