In good hands

I have been incredibly happy with the service provided by Nicola. From the first initial conversation I felt like I was in good hands. A lot was covered in every conversation/consult but it didn't ever feel rushed. Nicola covered all my concerns and clarified everything so well that I felt confident in how things were progressing, and confident in Nicola's expertise in guiding me through the separation process and getting the best outcome. I would recommend Nicola without hesitation.

Compassionate, clear and supportive

I had a really positive experience with both Megan and Nicola during an incredibly difficult and emotional time. Megan was extremely compassionate and took the time to understand the history and circumstances surrounding contact. She handled some very sensitive conversations with real kindness and empathy, which made it much easier for me to talk openly about what had been happening. Nicola was exactly what I needed when it came to understanding what to do next. She was pragmatic, clear and reassuring, while also being firm with me when I needed it. She gave me the space to talk and be upset, but importantly kept bringing me back to the practicalities, reminding me of my rights and helping me understand the next steps available to me. I felt listened to, supported and much clearer about my position after speaking with them. I’m very grateful for the compassion and guidance I received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Best Advice

Nicola was extremely helpful with her advice, I was unsure what to do in my situation But she clarified every step I should be taking . I can’t thank her enough as the advice given could mean the difference between continuing to have the lovely relationship between my daughter and myself or having stripped from us and this will have a massive impact on my daughter. I highly recommend that if you are unsure of your rights as the other legal parent do not hesitate you must contact Nicola .
