Mary Chilinski

Charis has been helping me with a difficult case for approximately a year now, the chances of me getting the outcome that I recieved was unlikely to start with due to many complications but I managed to walk out with everything I wanted and more, this was very much helped by Charis who worked very hard pinpointing every aspect relevant to the case and bringing up when necessary The effort put in by Charis throughout was very professional especially as I can be a awkward person to work with Angela also performed exceedingly well during the final hearing which also helped a lot towards the final result she was very strong spoken which is what I felt I needed on the day thankyou to both of you for helping my daughter be safe going forwards and spend much more time with me Highly recommend both of these lawyers Thanks Chris

I was put in touch with Hayley by a friend when I received court papers for family court. Hayley contacted me the same day and was the most calming and supportive person I could have asked for in that hour of need. Hayley talked me through everything and has been with me every step of the way through my turbulent legal journey. She has listened to all my ramblings and ensured my voice is heard. I honestly cannot express how grateful I am for her being in my corner. I would most certainly not be in the position I am today without her guidance.

I would advise absolutely anyone to choose Mary Chilinski — she is without doubt the very best advisor you could ever wish to have, especially when dealing with family courts. She is incredibly intelligent, and knows exactly how to build strong, clear paperwork and put everything in perfect order. When you are open and honest with her, she takes all the facts and shapes them into something solid, making sure everything is right and fair, and guides you firmly toward reaching your goals. Even when serious allegations were placed against me, she still gave me every opportunity to clear my name and prove the truth. She took great care to explain clearly exactly what I needed to do, and gave me wise guidance, advising me to follow every step that the professionals asked of me. She always checked in to make sure everything was being done properly. I trusted her advice completely, followed all her instructions, and because of her careful preparation, everything was set in place perfectly. She also arranged for me to be represented by one of the very finest barristers around, and together they helped me achieve custody and the right to care for my son. Mary Chilinski is kind, respectful, exceptionally smart, and knows exactly how to make things work even when they seem difficult. She gives you useful tips, constant guidance, and is always there to support you. She replies to emails and answers phone calls promptly, calls you whenever there is something important to share, and always keeps you fully updated on every development and outcome throughout the whole process. She pushes you gently in the right direction, helps you get everything organised, and truly makes the impossible become possible. I recommend anyone to use Family Law Group — they are one of the best in town, and especially to contact Mary Chilinski, because she is simply the very best.

Mary Chilinski

Natasha very emotionally cold.Talked me into not doing my parental assessment.. by saying i had no rights and didnt have a chance.. Even though i travelled miles and got buses and spend alot on presents ,had reports of clear loving affection at contact centre. always delivering bad news all the time any day any point causes me panic attacks in public. i was too emotionally distraught apparently to be assessed. She didnt fight for my baby to have a mother She didnt give me a voice in court when i needed it. Nhs had lied on paperwork when i had attended appointments and shown clear effort and emotion Shes endangered my child. Got paid for showing up, allowed everyone to slate me down supporting a obvious absent father whos recently involved to swoop in and take her after 6mnths of me actively doing all responsibiltys. he wasnt a nice man when pregnant to us and didnt help us physcially or financially she knew i had no family or moral support and used that against me to make her job easier. Was clear there was obvious corruption in fathers drug test.as he has dreads and has done several different substances throughout his life. And yet passed and passed when i was pregnant even with a addiction which was why he couldnt provide for his first and only child. He is still on two substances which he wont stop Passed parental And now has full custody of a child inwhich his only just begun having a relationship with. She didnt understand trauma bond and narc abuse. Wasnt going to get her back but hoped for co parenting which she insured wouldnt happen and to downsize and move from the family house i moved into so she had her own room. Even had the independent social worker hug me when crying, before removing my rights, heartbroken Which im sure any mother would be but cant care or cry be used against you! Im clearly a loving worried mother who didnt no what was happening didnt no her rights ( or lack of ) you was paid to help through hardest time my life and advise me. But you would distress me say i couldnt do anything about it and go. Leaving me hysterical. She literally was overruled by a therapist manager who googles the law to defend her sons wrong doings whos been caught lying. this is a man who needed to be told why a baby was a priority over him a 29 yr old man. he had to be in the picture even if he wasnt contributing apparently because he is the dad least he has rights, right. I told her my concerns of how he might treat her according to past behaviours treatment on me. And obvious neglect towards us pregnant which was seen by others including screaming at me. The independent social worker assessed the father of my child and was charmed within a week. She knows best id only lived with him 3yrs they knew they could do as they wished as i had noone to support me. You have left me worried sick and suicidal and childless. Without visitation. Im going to leave letters to my daughter in my will of whats happened. Reassure her to take whats been said with pinch of salt. My unfortunate unsuccessful experience. She will know shes loved even if i cant be present in her life. I sacrificed alot for her and went through alot of unneeded pain. Being apart has caused me a heart condition and im experiencing grief. But i dont regret bringing her into this world. Its fine if your a bad person aslong as your not convicted you can do nothing for a year and still take full custody Causing her heart issues from stress and reflux issues to her digestion. Before age of 1. No child should be minipulated or mentally abused by a parent it can stay with them forever but i suppose you didnt care did you natasha? Its not your life, your child... just paperwork isnt it natasha.

From the start of the process through to the end, I received excellent support. Everything was dealt with in a timely manner, and any delays from the other party were actively followed up. Hayley was empathetic, professional, and rational when providing advice, making me feel supported and well informed throughout. I never felt discriminated against or made to feel uncomfortable in any way. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the service I received and would highly recommend it.

I had Jonathan helping my case. I highly recommend him as he is really a very good solicitor. Very patient, helpful, very smart, giving me the assurance that he will work in my best interest, which he really did. I am so grateful that he helped me succeed through the worst experiences of my life. I will always remember his kindness, the patience to answer to my questions/worries, and the ability to deal with all the stressful situation I went through. Thanks so much, Jonathan!
