Excellent and caring service

Louisa and her staff were very professional and approachable. The service was efficient but delivered in a patient and caring manner during my lengthy divorce. Advice was provided, clear explanations given and information provided promptly. My wishes were respected and I was given time to consider options when needed. She helped make a very difficult time more bearable. I can highly recommend her.

Highly recommend!!

I have had an excellent experience with Louisa. From the very beginning, she was professional, approachable, and reassuring. She explained everything clearly, kept me updated throughout the process, and always made time to answer my questions. I felt confident knowing I was in good hands. Her knowledge and attention to detail made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Louisa to anyone in need of legal support.

Excellent Service and Support with Clean Break Order

I recently worked with Louisa Bestford at Hay & Kilner to draft and finalise a Clean Break Consent Order following my divorce, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Louisa was clear, professional, and highly efficient from start to finish. She explained every step of the process in plain terms, provided timely updates, and handled the case with care and precision, even when things were delayed on the other side. Thanks to her guidance, everything was submitted correctly and has now been approved by the court, bringing the matter to a proper and permanent close. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Louisa or Hay & Kilner to anyone needing support with a family law matter. JM

Matrimonial matters

Both Louisa and Phoebe helped me with my very difficult divorce . Without their knowledge and expertise, I could not have gotten the result I did . I am so very grateful for their assistance.

Finalising our divorce

Louisa has been fantastic to deal with from start to finish. She listened, she understood my perspective and what was important to me, and as a result we shared the same goals to work towards from the onset. I really appreciated her honesty and advice throughout, her timely communication and her tenacity to get the divorce settled.
