Family Law

Matrimonial

My divorce settlement took 2 years to finalise and included 2 court hearings. Throughout this uncertain time Barker Gotelee have acted on my behalf in a professional and competent manner and I felt reassured that they were not only seeking the best outcome for me but were knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with divorce/financial settlements. I felt in good hands. They have been sympathetic to my situation and have always been open/transparent in everything they have done re my matter.
