CVG Family Law

I cannot thank Cora enough for the support she has given me throughout what has been, without a doubt one of the most difficult and emotional periods of my life. She has supported me wholeheartedly every step of the way, and I genuinely could not have asked for a better solicitor to have in my corner. Cora has shown not only exceptional professionalism and dedication to her profession, but also compassion, understanding and genuine care for what I have been going through. At times when I have felt overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted, knowing that I had someone who listened to me and understood my concerns has meant more than I can put into words. The outcome she has achieved means everything to me and my children. This was about so much more than a court outcome; it was about protecting my family and being able to feel safe again. CVG Family Law achieved that and so much more. Cora, I will always be grateful for the way you have stood by me, believed in me and supported me throughout this journey. Your dedication has made a real difference to my life, and I cannot thank you enough. I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone needing a solicitor who combines outstanding legal support with genuine compassion and commitment. You have been absolutely incredible. I also want to say a huge thank you to Holly, who has worked so hard behind the scenes to ensure everything was completed to such a high standard. The paperwork was detailed, thorough and meticulously prepared, and it was clear how much time, effort and attention to detail had gone into every aspect of the case. A special thank you to Robyn, who stepped in at the last minute to assist with one of my hearings. Despite the short notice, she was incredibly professional, supportive and reassuring throughout. During such a stressful and emotional time, having someone step in and provide that level of support made a real difference. From start to finish, from the Director to the juniors and PA’s, all the team at CVG Family Law have quite honestly been outstanding.

I cannot thank CVG Family Law enough for the support they provided during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Going through divorce and family law proceedings was incredibly challenging, but their professionalism, compassion, and expertise helped me navigate every step with confidence. They supported me in securing a Financial Order, Child Arrangements Order, and Non-Molestation Order, always ensuring I understood my rights and options. Their guidance empowered me to make informed decisions for myself and my two daughters. What truly set them apart was their genuine care for my wellbeing beyond the legal process. They helped me recognise unhealthy patterns, encouraged me to establish healthy boundaries, and signposted me to valuable support services when I needed them most. Thanks to their dedication and support, my daughters and I now have the stability, security, and peace of mind we desperately needed. I will always be grateful for the difference they have made to our lives and would highly recommend CVG Family Law to anyone needing family law support.

I have been Cora's client for over two years through exceptionally complex and emotionally demanding family law proceedings involving domestic abuse, safeguarding concerns, and the intersection of private family law with criminal matters. Throughout everything, Cora has shown unwavering commitment to ensuring I had meaningful access to justice at every stage. Her technical expertise is exceptional, but what truly sets her apart is the genuine humanity she brings to her work, her sensitivity, patience and steadiness during some of the most distressing moments of this process have been extraordinary. She has made an overwhelmingly difficult experience feel navigable, always ensuring I felt informed, empowered and supported. Through her diligence and strategic thinking, she has helped secure outcomes that have been genuinely life-changing for my family. I could not recommend her more highly.

From the outset, of what isn’t an easy experience, I felt completely supported, listened to and understood. Cora was a perfectly balanced mix of the professional and the personal which makes a huge difference. Whilst the process was not enjoyable, feeling completely confident in Cora and her guidance left me free to focus on what was important without having to worry about my solicitor. This really is so valuable when difficult decisions have to be made. Bridget in the office was also unflinchingly professional and completely reliable making the whole process very smooth from start to finish. This, too, is so valuable in a stressful situation. Add to this Cora’s competitive pricing and there really is no need to look elsewhere. Highly recommended.

I don't exaggerate when I say that Cora and her team may well have saved my life. When I went to her I was barely able to speak or make eye contact. I had no understanding of the severity of the situation I was in after years of abuse, just that I was terrified. She has worked tirelessly to free me from my marriage and get myself and my children to safety, offering the kind of support that cannot be bought. She cares deeply about the rights of women, and understands the complexity, and shifting paradigms of where domestic abuse meets legislation. My life has changed for the better because of this firm and I will forever be grateful to Cora and her support staff, especially Holly and Bridget.
