Divorce
Michelle, Jill and the team made a very difficult and emotional process that bit easier for me. I appreciated their open, friendly approach and their patience in explaining legal terms I hadn't come across before. I felt absolutely confident in their ability, but they also gave me confidence to make the right decision at such a difficult time. I was listened to and supported. I would definitely recommend Acclaimed Family Law to anyone needing legal advice.

Divorcing an obstructive partner
Michelle and Jill helped me through a very difficult divorce. They were efficient, professional and supportive throughout the whole process. I needed to feel I had some protection and that it was possible not to be bullied out of a fair settlement- Michelle really gave me the courage to achieve that fair settlement as quickly as possible. They were kind and understanding at all times, which was so important during this stressful time.
