Cora Valentine-Goddard

Family Solicitor

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

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.

Look no further.

From the outset, of what isn’t an easy experience, I felt completely supported, listened to and understood. Cora was a perfectly balanced mix of the professional and the personal which makes a huge difference. Whilst the process was not enjoyable, feeling completely confident in Cora and her guidance left me free to focus on what was important without having to worry about my solicitor. This really is so valuable when difficult decisions have to be made. Bridget in the office was also unflinchingly professional and completely reliable making the whole process very smooth from start to finish. This, too, is so valuable in a stressful situation. Add to this Cora’s competitive pricing and there really is no need to look elsewhere. Highly recommended.

Life-Savers

I don't exaggerate when I say that Cora and her team may well have saved my life. When I went to her I was barely able to speak or make eye contact. I had no understanding of the severity of the situation I was in after years of abuse, just that I was terrified. She has worked tirelessly to free me from my marriage and get myself and my children to safety, offering the kind of support that cannot be bought. She cares deeply about the rights of women, and understands the complexity, and shifting paradigms of where domestic abuse meets legislation. My life has changed for the better because of this firm and I will forever be grateful to Cora and her support staff, especially Holly and Bridget.
