Lifesaver - calm in the storm

Claire came into our Public Law case after going into our 4th year of proceedings following Private Law. She listened and understood the case very quickly. Advice was calming and focused. Claire understood what I had been trying to say as a Litigant in Persons (badly it would seem) but has settled things down. Claire can read through reports and see patterns and notices the smaller details. Claire made me feel like I was not going mad and brought back logic and narrative. She listens and is reasonable - human in her replies but logic and focused. Claire has brought me peace and taken a load off me so I can now become a parent again and not get bogged down in the paperwork. Fantastic and professional but also puts you at ease and feel heard and respected.
