CVG Family Law

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.

A huge thank you for all your hard work and support; professional and otherwise. I�ve always felt listened to, supported and I�ve never been in any doubt that you always had my daughter�s best interests at heart. A weight is now lifted from my shoulders knowing I tried everything that I could. With very best wishes.

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.
