Family Solicitor
I qualified as a Family solicitor in a top tier firm in London in 2010. I worked in the Family department there as an Associate Solicitor for several years before having my own family. I took a short career break to focus on bringing up my children and during that time completed my training in Family Mediation. Most recently I have worked more locally and with a local charity to provide advice to those most in need of access to justice. I decided to set up on my own during the Covid-19 lockdown as a Freelance solicitor with the aim of providing a service to those who do not want to compromise on the quality of advice, but cannot afford high private solicitor’s fees.

Cora’s advice
Cora was fantastic from start to finish in guiding me through the legal options available at a very difficult and stressful time. She gave clear and sensible legal advice but also listened to me as the client taking my needs and preferences into account. She used her extensive prior experience to advise and was pragmatic and clear in her advice which she adapted as matters evolved. She also checked in regularly at the start of the matter to make sure I was ok. I would not hesitate to recommend Cora.

Separation agreement
Cora supported me through a difficult separation, she understood and supported me in a personable but professional manner. I would never have imagined she would have secured the resolution I was hoping for.

Protection against Stalking following Domestic Abuse and Violence
Cora was very approachable, gave me clear instructions and guidance on how to handle my case whereby my perpetrator was stalking and harassing me and my daughter. She dealt with my case in a timely fashion and her experience in these matters was evident as everything she said would happen, did and the outcome was positive.
I cannot thank her enough and I know that she is always there if I need her assistance again in the future.

Excellent support & guidance provided
When I really didn’t know where to turn and was struggling to resolve some child contact issues with my ex-partner, Cora provided advice and support. She made me aware of the range of options available to me and helped me resolve the issue without the need to go to court, which I wanted to avoid because of the stress involved. Her advice was measured and the service provided extremely professional.

Thank you
Cora was fantastic. She really helped me at a time when I was vulnerable and needed someone to guide and help me. Cora did all of that and did it with real human caring. Have already recommended Cora to more than one person I know.

My experience with Cora
What can I say…I started this journey with Cora almost 3 years ago. She was recommended to me by PAS and I am so pleased they did.
I have never been in this situation before nor have I ever attended court so I found this very daunting to start with. However Cora has made this journey easier by her continued support and guidance along the way. Whenever I needed her by my side in court she was there and nothing has ever been too much. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart x

Outstanding support
I can’t recommend Cora enough. Supporting me through one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to go through Cora guided me through the process with ease and supported me emotionally and professionally. Her knowledge has been outstanding and kept me at ease answering any questions I had. I continue to use Cora for other matters as I believe her service is second to none and extremely good value for money.
