Divorce

After an ongoing and searingly never ending, expensive and stressful ongoing divorce I decided to try and represent myself. It was then I came across the firm by chance. I met with Susan, who gave me clear advice exploring all options with me. Which is something I didn’t get previously. I can only say thank you.
