    Family Court Review

    During an incredibly difficult and challenging time, I was given guidance and was supported throughout and truly felt I was listened to. Penny and the whole team worked hard together to guide me through the process and always in a timely manner. I found the team extremely professional and showed compassion to my situation. I would highly recommend working with them.

    First class support and advice exactly when you need it!!!!!

    I had the daunting task of navigating a very difficult divorce. For the first time in my life I felt completely lost as to how to deal with things. Penny and her team were amazing from the the very first meeting, and all throughout the process. They guided me through the whole process and the support they gave genuinely made me feel as though a huge amount of the weight had been lifted from my shoulders. They were always there for advice, always contacted me about ongoing updates, and they handled things in a manner that achieved the best possible outcome for me. I'm now in a position where I am looking to the future with optimism and I am ever grateful to Penny, Sharon and Trisha for all their help.

    Exceptional Support During the Most Difficult Time of My Life

    I cannot recommend Penny at Raby & Co highly enough. From our very first meeting, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and expertise. My case was incredibly stressful, and Penny guided me through every stage with patience, understanding, and genuine care. Throughout the process, I was extremely emotional, and there were times when I struggled to cope with the stress and uncertainty. Despite my emotional outbursts, Penny never once made me feel judged or rushed. She treated me with remarkable patience, kindness, and empathy, always taking the time to listen, reassure me, and help me regain perspective. Her calm and compassionate approach made an enormous difference during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Her knowledge of family law is outstanding, and she always explained my options clearly, ensuring I understood every step of the process. I never felt like just another client—she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me and my children. What truly sets Penny apart is not only her legal expertise but also her humanity. She combines professionalism with warmth, integrity, and unwavering support, making you feel that you are in the safest possible hands. I am incredibly grateful to Penny and everyone at Raby & Co for their dedication and support. If you are looking for a family lawyer who is highly skilled, compassionate, and truly committed to her clients, I would recommend Penny without hesitation. She has made an immeasurable difference to my life, and I will always be thankful for everything she has done for me.

    Great for family matter, not so much for finances

    Penny Raby was heavily involved in the childrens proceedings, and as such, we had a good result. Unfortunately, when we moved to the financial proceedings where the majority of the work was undertaken by other team members, I found the service slipped and I had to chase multiple times for any responses or action to be taken. The result of the financial proceedings was less than satisfactory. Overall, I would not use them again.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you were happy with the support Penny provided during the children proceedings and that a positive outcome was achieved in that aspect of your case. We are, however, sorry to learn that you felt our service fell short during the financial proceedings. We understand how frustrating it can be when you feel you have had to chase for updates, and we appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention. Financial remedy proceedings are often complex, and the legal framework and specific circumstances of each case can significantly influence the outcome. While we always strive to achieve our clients' desired results, unfortunately this is not always possible given the facts of the case. We genuinely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us to reflect on and improve the service we provide. We wish you all the very best for the future.

    Divorce after 28 years of marriage

    From the very start of discussion's with Penny's team I was assured that this would be a fair settlement without greed and my sons would see this and that's what happened although this did take a while due to the unprofessional behaviour of the other solicitor involved.All I can say is that it's essential that you use a solicitor that considers the needs of the family and listen to your solicitor and their team I would recommend Penny Raby co to anyone who has to go through this sad experience Thank you
