Duane Vernon Plant

Duane and I have been on a very challenging journey together over the past three years. It has involved three different sets of child custody proceedings and a (relatively straightforward) divorce proceeding. The first custody proceeding was initiated by us with the aim of enabling me to be a significant part of my daughter's life (my ex-wife suddenly vacated the family home, made lots of false accusations against me and withheld contact with our daughter). The other two proceedings were initiated by my ex-wife to try and undo the order that was made in the first proceedings. At every stage Duane's strategy has been well thought out and effective. Duane is highly experienced, always keeps the child at the forefront of his mind and is very collaborative, as we were often able to brainstorm strategy together. He has an excellent knowledge of the law and the court system, knows the people involved very well and made some excellent barrister recommendations. He does not partake in "trial by correspondence" which some other solicitors find very lucrative. Duane gives excellent advice and I totally trust him, as his work and his success with my case has had a massively positive impact on my daughter's childhood.

I’d been let down by another firm and felt deflated and stressed, Duane was recommended to me for being professional, understanding and a sensible approach and he certainly was, from the first call he listened to all my worries and genuinely seemed like he cared, he offered me advice that eased my mind and all through the process he calmed me when I was stressed by giving me the sensible advice I needed, his expertise and knowledge and approach to find a solution to any obstacles that came our way to solve things in the best way we could for us all with as little stress as possible.

Duane recommended a collaborative approach to reach a financial settlement in our divorce; it worked well and I believe we achieved the best possible outcome in a difficult situation. Duane is highly skilled and dealt sensitively with all parties in this case.

I instructed Duane a little after filing for divorce. He has been incredibly knowledgeable, calm, supporting, and has approached every step with my best interests and my kids at heart. He is an incredibly nice and thoughtful person whom I would recommend to anyone travelling down the distressing road of separation and divorce.
