    Review of Karen Anker

    I would highly recommend Karen. I left an abusive partner with a young child and my ex’s behaviour was very unpleasant and challenging throughout the divorce process. I went through a child arrangement order hearing and a financial hearing and Karen was fantastic throughout, going on occasions above and beyond. I had frequent contact with Karen due to my ex’s behaviour and she always replied swiftly to emails and was available to talk to on the phone where needed. The information she provided was always well thought through, thorough, sound, to the point and extremely beneficial. In addition, when an action on her behalf was agreed such as writing to my ex’s solicitor she often wrote the first draft that same day or the day after. Her client care was also outstanding and I felt I always knew what was happening or going to happen and generally felt well looked after throughout the process. This excellent communication really made the whole stressful process much easier to deal with and was a send. I was represented in court by barristers sourced by Karen. All 3 of my barristers were highly complementary of Karen’s outstanding work, which I think speaks volumes of Karen’s abilities. I was recommended Karen by a friend and I will definitely return to Karen if the need arose.

    Barr Ellison handled my divorce. I can't recommend Karen Anker highly enough for her professionalism, efficiency and patience in explaining the process and resolving the points of conflict during the negotiations. I was kept fully updated with progress and costs, and I appreciated her realism in advising me the best approach to take within the law and my situation regardless of how difficult it was to hear sometimes.
