Experienced and well tailored support

I relied on Abigail's advise during the lead up to my first and second financial remedy hearing in my divorce case. As a litigant in person I was hoping to keep costs low and handle much of the paperwork myself. Abigail provided me with great advise throughout and made me feel confident about handling the case myself. I always felt encouraged and enabled to avoid unnecessary expenses and seek her guidance only when needed. Abigail was also very personable both on the phone and in correspondence and made me feel reassured in this stressful process. It was clear she advised from a position of great experience, and indeed her instinct for how the case would turn out was spot on. She always replied to emails in a timely fashion or offered valuable phone calls to discuss more complex matters. I would be happy to recommend her services to anyone looking for a solicitor during their financial remedy proceedings, or to get advise at any stage.

Help with financial order before divorce

Abigail made the process much easier and took time to explain the process in simple terms. She was able to deal with problems that arose and removed the stress from the situation.

Knowledgeable and reliable to achieve the best outcome

From the very start of the divorce to the financial order Abigail was supportive, calm and strategic. This was a complex end to a long marriage. She recognised my emotional needs, calmed me when needed and supported me in the paperwork I had to complete. Always only a message away from calling me when I had a question, nothing she and her team communicated efficiently throughout. She achieved exactly the outcome that I needed. Although professional at all times I felt she was genuinly invested in my wellbeing. She built my confidence as well as securing the right outcome and I felt she was genuinely happy with court's outcome and she is far more than a legal service. I would not hesitate in highly recommending her. Thank you for all the support.

Personable, Efficient and dedicated to you.

Abigail was absolutely brilliant from start to finish, through the highs and the lows of a challenging separation, Abigail consistently supported and advised at every hurdle. Her experience and knowledge made the process of negotiation and challenge with the opposite party as close to straightforward as it could have been. Her ability to level with you and keep the landscape 'real' as the journey progressed made me feel like I genuinely had someone in my corner wanting what was right for myself, for my children and actually cared for the right result. I hope to never find myself in such circumstances again in my life, but if I ever did, I would not hesitate in picking up the phone to Abigail once again. Thankyou Abigail and Family Law for your support over the past 18 months. Wishing you all the very best

Approachable and professional.

Abigail has a modern approach with classic skills and is easy to work with. A good negotiator that looks for a fair and balanced outcome. All the work that she did was faultless and well researched. She is friendly and approachable and put me at ease about any worries, whilst being realistic about outcomes. As with many things in life, you get what you pay for... Abigail and Family Law Kent are worth every penny. I highly recommend them.
