Outcome
Barclay v Barclay [2024] EWFC 395 (B)
Successful application for contempt of court against client's ex-husband, resulting in an immediate custodial sentence of 42 days for breach of financial remedy orders.
Family nightmares made bearable
Who knew the law for unmarried family’s would be so complex. Beth Courtney- Walker guided me seamlessly through the court system which is littered with problems. The UK court system needs to recognise the abuse isn’t just broken bones and bruises and the family courts need to see that children of abusive parents are also by default abused. Whilst this was the hardest, most draining fight of my life, the support Beth and her team provided was exceptional. I may not have liked or understood the process but I accepted that their advice was based on the best possible outcome for myself and my daughter in an out dated, misogynistic legal system that creates a playground for abuse to not only continue but escalate. Beth and her team, thank you from the bottom of my heart, for listening to my scream, cry and almost give up. Your support and advice saved me.

Excellent
After going through several very long and unnessary court battles with my ex husband, I can thank Jenny and Beth (and Sarah) enough for everything over the last few years, advising and helping me get through a very tough period in my life.

A compassionate, dedicated and efficient solicitor
Beth has been outstanding in a challenging divorce case. There have been complex components to break down and deal with. Beth has clearly navigated me through the divorce process, showing genuine compassion at times when necessary. Beth listened to what was required and showed patience during her practise. Beth has an extensive knowledge and hunger to gain the best outcome for her client.
I would highly recommend Beth for the long haul cases as her tenacious, dedicated approach was unwavering.
Thank you very much

Thank you for everything
I began instructing Beth whilst she was based at another firm, and made the decision to stick with her when she made her move to Samuel Phillips. Beth is diligent, knowledgeable, resourceful and compassionate, and I feel genuinely lucky to have had her support throughout my case. She is responsible for reuniting me with my young son, and for that our family will be eternally grateful.
