I cannot recommend Vicky and Meg highly enough. Finding yourself facing Hague Convention proceedings is an incredibly frightening and overwhelming experience, particularly as a mother trying to protect your children while navigating a legal system and circumstances that feel completely unfamiliar. From the very beginning, Vicky and Meg treated me with compassion, patience and respect. They took the time to listen to everything I had been through and, importantly, they listened to my children’s circumstances and made sure their voices and best interests remained at the centre of the case. Throughout the proceedings, they were incredibly thorough, professional and determined. They explained complicated legal issues in a way I could understand, answered my endless questions, and gave me reassurance when I was struggling with the uncertainty of what lay ahead. I never felt like just another case. What meant the most to me was that they understood that behind the legal arguments was a mother and two children whose lives had been turned upside down. They fought incredibly hard for us and never lost sight of what was at stake. The emotional toll of Hague proceedings is enormous, and having solicitors who genuinely care, who listen without judgement and who make you feel that you are not facing it alone makes such a difference. I will always be incredibly grateful to Vicky and Meg for their support, dedication and professionalism during one of the most difficult periods of my life. They helped me navigate something I never imagined I would have to face, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any mother who suddenly finds herself facing Hague proceedings. Thank you both for everything you have done for me and my boys. ❤️

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.

I cannot recommend Vicky Withers highly enough. From the very beginning, she was exceptional — professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. Vicky has a deep understanding of disability rights and the realities faced by disabled parents, which made an enormous difference throughout what was an extremely difficult and emotional process. She took the time to truly listen, never made assumptions, and ensured my voice was heard at every stage. Her approach was not only legally robust but also human — she understood how systems can fail disabled people and worked tirelessly to challenge that. I always felt supported, respected, and reassured, even during the most stressful moments. Vicky explained everything clearly, advocated fiercely on my behalf, and handled complex issues with calm confidence and precision. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, I felt empowered rather than overwhelmed. She is an outstanding solicitor and an incredible advocate. I am deeply grateful for her support and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone, especially disabled clients who need someone who genuinely understands their rights and will fight for them.

We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and guidance Vicky Withers provided to us as foster carers during one of the most challenging decisions we’ve ever experienced. From the very beginning, Vicky was not only professional and knowledgeable but also compassionate, patient, and truly committed to the well-being of both the child in our care and to ourselves as carers. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure we felt heard, supported, and equipped to navigate a very complex situation. Vicky’s calm and reassuring presence made all the difference during some of our most difficult moments. Vicky's ability to advocate effectively, while maintaining empathy and balance, was a source of strength for us. Her guidance helped us stay focused, grounded, and confident in our role, even when things felt overwhelming. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Vicky by our side and cannot thank her enough for her dedication, professionalism, and heartfelt support.
