Kayleigh Bell

Tagged solicitor Kayleigh Bell

Kayleigh is a well informed children’s lawyer. She was particular and exacting in her approach to resolving my children’s matters throughout my divorce. I appreciated that Kayleigh took a mature problem solving approach as opposed to playing a ‘ for tat’ game that doesn’t benefit anyone. It was unfortunate that a Children’s agreement could not be reached after a long and complicated process despite Kayleigh giving her best. Note: I would recommend anyone facing an apathetic or unyielding opposition to take their matter straight to court to avoid a drawn out process with no outcome.

Ruth Goward

Tagged solicitor Ruth Goward

The service that I have received from Ruth and her team throughout my family court proceedings has exceeded my expectations. This is my first encounter with court and Ruth has guided me through every step of the way, ensuring that I am fully aware of and prepared for each hearing. The barristers that Ruth has selected for each hearing have been excellent in the court room and a great form of support directly prior to and following hearings. Ruth is friendly and approachable and shows a genuine concern for the wellbeing of my children. My proceedings have been lengthy and are not yet complete, I am very pleased that Ruth has been by my side throughout them and trust that she will do everything in her power to obtain the best outcome possible in the future. Thank you, Ruth.
