Excellent Service

Ruby called me soon after I sent my enquiry regarding a court application to see my granddaughter. She immediately put me at ease and gave me so much hope. Ruby advised me what I needed to put on my application and encouraged me to keep going. Talking to Ruby was not only helpful but also very reassuring, she fully understood my position as grandmother desperate to maintain a relationship with my granddaughter. Ruby also advised that she could help with my application if needed and advised me of the fees which are very reasonable. I can't thank Ruby enough for her advice and the hope she has given me.

Legal Advice

Ruby went above and beyond in providing me with a legal advice. She took the ownership of the situation and completely felt the situation. I honestly felt that she was walking in my shoes.

Supportive

In a time of massive distress what you need is cool calm advice, delivered in a friendly and supportive way. This was what I got and the sentence I needed to hear more than any "you are not on your own".
