Barely satisfactory
My experience wasn't great, there were numerous examples of neglectful behaviour on her part and I feel that the outcome of the settlement reflects the lack of support.
On more than one occasion, she sent me legal agreements to review/sign that would have me giving away my most valuable assets - none of which we had spoken about during the course of agreeing the settlement. On one occasion, she was the person who added the term to the agreement. It seemed that Hannah didn't have the time to focus on my settlement and everything took such a long time due to her working schedule. Whilst things seemed OK at the outset, I felt unsupported for the majority of the time and occasionally I felt that she was working against me. My ex-wife's solicitor was very proactive but Hannah's approach was much more minimal and passive.
That's not to say it was all bad of course, Hannah did show up for me at times over the year we worked together but the lasting memory will be negative.

Application of Consent Order.
Hannah was empathetic and professional, as were all the staff members at harbour Family Law. Despite difficulties with the consent order relating to inaction by the third party Hannah was always helpful and attempting to move things forward. Absolutely first class service.

Exceptional and Compassionate Legal Support During a Difficult Time
I had the pleasure of working with Hannah Holdaway during my divorce, and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of service I received. From the very first consultation, she demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities of family law and provided clear, thoughtful guidance throughout the entire process.
Hannah was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate during what was an emotionally challenging time. She took the time to explain each step, answered my countless questions, and was always available when I needed clarification or reassurance. I felt supported and confident in the handling of my case.
Thanks to Hannah’s diligent work, we achieved a fair and satisfactory outcome, and I truly appreciate the care and attention. I would highly recommend Hannah and Harbour Family Law for anyone needing a family law solicitor who combines expertise with genuine empathy.

Divorce
I would and have already recommended Harbour Family Law to couple of my friends. Everyone was very professional and I felt fully supported and informed throughout the process by Hannah. She made a very difficult time a lot easier for me.

Fantastic From Start To End!
I would totally recommend Harbour Family Law Solicitors to anyone seeking experts in divorce law. I was delighted at their friendly and open approach to my issue. They immediately took what was a very stressful situation and handled it themselves, easing the stress on me. At the same time, I was involved at every step of the way, so I knew what was going on. I knew I could rely on them to achieve the best outcome, whilst smoothing what can be a very painful process.

Family court dispute
I’m so grateful to Hannah and Charlotte who helped me through a very difficult period with family court in fighting to get access to see my daughter. Not only did they achieve this but thanks to their hard work and professionalism, myself and my daughter have Findlay been given the opportunity to form a proper relationship together, thanks to the terms that Hannah and Charlotte were able to negotiate on my behalf. Throughout the proceedings I was always kept abreast of exactly what was happening and if there we any developments then I was notified right away, and advised on how these may effect my case. I really got the sense that both Hannah and Charlotte really cared about achieving the absolute best outcome for both my daughter and I, as well as taking on board all the concerns I had regarding certain issues. I hope I never have to, but I’d certainly use Harbour Law again, a great service.
