The most expensive mistake I ever made - hiring Cath

£60k Cath took from me, achieved nothing except wrack up debt and exacerbate my divorce and child conflicts. I dropped her representation and did better in court alone. I was a domestic abuse victim with a 1 year old and she was incredibly triggering. She literally told me she wanted to control me and was reluctant to return my daughter’s passport to me which she should never have been keeping. She advised me to do everything that put unnecesssery money in her pocket. Including expensive documentation, hidden fees and sending emails I was charged for and pushing me to have expensive hearings which achieved nothing. When she knew I had no money left she literally told me to take out loans to continue to pay her. She didn’t represent my interests, she picked routes where she could easily win to make herself look good, rather than fight for what I wanted and told me it was impossible for me to get a relocation order - which it wasn’t because I got it myself without her. She stalked my hearings after I dropped her, threatened me and served me to appear in court as she went back on an agreed payment plan when I dropped her representation. Meaning unless I was trapped paying in an expensive cycle where she wracked up more debt, she would hit me with a huge bill to pay immediately instead of stick with our payment plan. I took out high interest loans just to be free of her and got rid of her. Avoid and save yourself a lot of money.

Great Solicitor

I reached out to Cath, after having the worse solicitor imaginable! What a breathe of fresh air Cath was. She gave me clear advice, was a pleasure to deal with and was very knowledgeable!

Pre Nuptial Agreement

Hi, My case was complex and timelines were tight. Cath was efficient, forthright and knowledgeable. She went the extra mile and high lighted quickly what other things needed to be in place to ensure the agreement was fit for purpose. She is truly a caring individual who strives to do her best for her clients. All questions were answered in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to user this practice again.

A refreshing approach to a stressful and tumultuous period.

Finding myself needing a family lawyer came as quite a shock, and finding a lawyer with emotional intelligence, sensibility, and professionalism seemed like a tall order. Cath made the whole situation that bit easier. Her approach is refreshingly straightforward and keeps the importance of family at the forefront of your mind, while knowing that you have someone with you and your children’s best interests in hand. Her communication is clear, you have full understanding of what’s happening. You know when you need to act, and, more importantly when you don’t. My personal situation turned out to be quite a lengthy process from start to finish and I can’t thank Cath enough for guiding me through it.

Cath is highly experienced, professional, and genuinely caring. Over the past few years, she supported me through challenging times with clear, practical and thoughtful guidance. Her advice was always helpful and reassuring, and knowing she was by my side gave me real peace of mind and confidence throughout the process. I can’t recommend Cath highly enough.

Cath is a reliable professional who guided me through my recent separation with great authenticity and support. Like many people I guess, I knew nothing about what to expect during this process and she made it understandable to me, translating and explaining, making sure I knew my rights and options. No one wants to be in this position but without a doubt I’d recommend Cath.

Cath is a remarkable lawyer who was instrumental in getting me through a horrid situation. She was attentive, thorough, knowledgeable and reassuring throughout the process and I felt completely confident that she had my best interests at the centre of her efforts. I would not hesitate in recommending her to others seeking a family lawyer. Thank you Cath for being my voice when I felt completely beaten.
