Clean Break Order
Having had a previous failed clean break order executed by a different company. Prince Family Law came highly recommended by another Law firm which speaks volumes. With their help my old case was professionally investigated & reopened. Only with Prince Family Law expertise do I think my case could have been resurrected & finally brought to a positive conclusion. Wish I had approached Prince Family Law in the first instance! Can only say a big Thank You to Rachel Lamb & her team!

Divorce Settlement
From the beginning I was very anxious.
Rachel (Barlow) sat down with me and my partner and made us feel so at ease.
I couldn't really afford a solicitor but a donation by a friend got me started.
What can I say but what an amazing person Rachel is. I was made to feel welcomed and so at ease with her and the team. even helped me with "tech" stuff (I'm only a humble builder)
Even though I couldn't afford a Solicitor on the court day, Rachel was still on the end of the phone to give me advice even though she was busy.
It didn't go my way at court as I represented myself but it went a lot better than if i never had the advice given.
Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

Excellent outcome, I would highly recommend Prince Family Law.
Rachel was fantastic from start to finish. From the moment I had an initial video conference to talk through my case details. Rachel was reassuring and very professional in the way she conducted herself and the approach to proceedings. The court process can be very daunting for those of us who have never experienced it before, and to have Rachel there to ensure things progressed and stayed on track was the best decision I made. Rachel was conscious of personal circumstance and tried to offer solutions for those, and she wouldn't promise an outcome but rather prepared for all eventualities of what could happen. Thank you for everything you achieved in my case.

Money well spent
I can honestly say that Rachel was an excellent lawyer and wish that I had taken her services earlier in my divorce proceedings. She guided me ,clearly laying out costs beforehand, gave free advice , and was professional in all dealings. Even though costs are high ( as per all lawyers) she never sent me anything unnecessary , and also kept an eye on my expenses also, I felt she gave honest advice in laymen's terms so it was easily understandable and explained things that i needed to grasp.
Totally professional and represented me and my goals well- Thank you Rachel

Can’t thank them enough
I used Prince Family Law during late 2022 and early 2023, with Rachel Barlow the main point of contact.
Rachel was calm, professional, and supportive throughout the whole process. She was firm with the other party, and always worked to deescalate situations when the other party was trying to escalate and antagonise.
She always made an effort to act quickly, including many Friday afternoons after 4pm when the other party tried to use last minute correspondence to disrupt my children’s weekends.
The total cost, including Barrister fees, came to around £10k, upto and including the final hearing, however without Rachel’s interventions and frequent attempts to find common ground and escalate whenever possible, this cost would have been far higher.
Rachel was able to ensure my children’s wishes were listened to. Both wanted to spend equal time living with both parents, something their mother was keen to avoid, and without her efforts it wouldn’t have happened. I’m eternally grateful for the impact she has had on my children’s lives. They are now able to enjoy activities and experience many positive relationships which they wouldn’t have been able to otherwise. Whilst no one wants to spend thousands of pounds on solicitors fees for family court, the huge positive impact on my children’s lives as a result of the process has been worth every penny.

My experience with Rachel Barlow
I had a big doubt on my mind when Rachel took over my case from a solicitor in the same firm ( because he left ) . I was not happy because of the discontinuity of leaving a solicitor that has been on my case for over a year so I lost confidence and was thinking of moving my case to another firm
Rachel assured me that all will be well from her first meeting, I was impressed with her legal knowledge, how she handled me case; paid a lot of attention to details and her consistent follow up/update was superb
I got my confidence back and I knew instantly with Rachel, I have a better chance of getting a good outcome. when it was time for the court hearing, she gave me options and introduced me to a first class barrister, who did a fantastic job on that day
At the end of the day, I got a better outcome than expected
Thank you for all you did and for handling my case professionally

Financial remedy
Can’t really thank the guys at Prince Family Law enough for what they did. I waited a long time to sort a financial settlement on my home, but was made far easier by using the correct people.

Excellent
Rachel was excellent from the start of my child custody case. She listened intently to my story and knew right from the start what was required and she delivered it. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
