Ruth Hetherington

Ruth was very professional and provided compassionate and caring advice during my discussion with her in relation to perusing access to see my grandson. Additionally she has signposted us as a family to the most appropriate support for upcoming court appearance. I can’t thank Ruth enough and whilst I hope I won’t require any further services from her, she would be my first person to contact should I need too.

Vicky was the lead solicitor for an extremely challenging Hague Convention case for me and was never anything other than professional, strategic, proactive, and exceptionally hardworking throughout. From the outset, she inspired confidence and always made me feel supported, informed, and protected during an incredibly stressful period. She and her team dedicated countless hours to my case and consistently went above and beyond to make the process as manageable as possible for me and my son. Despite juggling multiple complex cases, I never once felt neglected or overlooked, even as proceedings became lengthy and demanding. I would also particularly like to thank Megan and Ruth for their support throughout the proceedings. Megan was consistently kind, responsive, and reassuring, while Ruth’s specialist knowledge and oversight were clearly invaluable to the case. What stood out most was the team’s calm, measured, and highly strategic approach. They were meticulous in preparation, compassionate in communication, and clearly deeply experienced in this area of law. Their work ultimately achieved the best possible outcome for us - a return refusal. I will always be incredibly grateful to Vicky and the wider team for believing in me, fighting tirelessly for my case, and helping secure our future.

Where do I start, Paul has been incredible, from the moment I spoke about my situation which was complex, difficult and challenging, Paul demonstrated a calm, passion and flair to help me get through this with as much confidence and strength I could muster. Paul worked tirelessly, above and beyond even out of hours on a Friday night. Even following up early Saturday morning, with a plan of how we will handle how to take it even further. I trusted him with my child’s safety as well as entrusting him with mine. I have no words to express my gratitude and respect for Paul. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a challenging time, he is the absolute best! Thank you so much.

I cannot recommend Ruth highly enough. Ruth is quite simply outstanding and deserves the highest recognition for her work. Over the course of 4.5 years of on and off court proceedings, Ruth has been my absolute rock and has consistently gone above and beyond in every possible way. Ruth's knowledge and experience are truly exceptional. She is honestly a master of her field. But what genuinely set her apart was how she made me feel throughout this incredibly difficult process. As a woman supporting another woman through family court, she gave me strength when I didn't think I had any left. There were days I wasn't sure I could even walk into the courtroom, and Ruth's unwavering support and encouragement gave me the courage to carry on when I thought I couldn't. Her legal advice was nothing short of outstanding. Always clearly explained, strategic, and perfectly tailored to our unique situation. She demonstrated incredible skill in navigating complex legal matters and always anticipated potential challenges before they arose. Ruth was consistently available whenever I needed to reach out, responding promptly with professionalism, wisdom, and genuine care. Her dedication to our case was evident in every interaction. Beyond her brilliant legal mind, Ruth is also warm, friendly, and genuinely supportive. She treated me with dignity and compassion at every step, making an unbearable situation feel manageable. Her ability to balance professionalism with authentic human kindness is a rare and precious quality. We have finally achieved the best possible outcome for our son, and I am beyond grateful to Ruth for everything she has done. I honestly could not have done this without her expertise, support, and unwavering commitment to our case. Ruth is an absolute credit to your firm and to the legal profession. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone facing similar challenges. She is simply the best.

I really appreciated all of Ruth’s advice and expertise. She gave me very good advice, and supported me throughout the whole process. Ruth is well-versed in recognising and dealing with domestic abuse cases.
