Outstanding help and support when I needed it the most sorting live with and contact for my children. Terina is switched on and is a sharp lawyer, she always put us first and fiercely stood her ground at court for my outcome and always showed empathy for my family.

Terina provided the most sympathetic of ears whilst I was naturally very distraught, she listened, understood and supported me which was absolutely critical as I approached a legal system for the first time with the emotion involved being very much out of my comfort zone. Terina gave me the confidence through her obvious sound legal knowledge and professionalism, taking me step by step through the legal process, providing the most on point, accurate, clear and rational direction.
I would highly recommend Terina, her approach is unique, grounded and above all in touch with reality. Thank you.
