The do over
Circumstances change, my Company didn't sell, it went into administration, the original court order set for the divorce of my wife and I was untenable. An amicable compromise was reached between my ex and I and a modified court order that was tenable applied for. Phil Barnsley of Higgs LLP made it happen and my ex and I will continue with our amicable parting that we wanted for the sake of our 3 sons.

Divorce accomplishment
Philip Barnsley and his Team were a tremendous help. I started my journey extremely nervous, completely clueless and very alone but I was made to feel at ease straight away and they helped guide me through the whole process. I was updated frequently and I followed all advice given and the outcome was as I hoped. Philip was extremely professional , I will miss him greatly.
