“With Judy Johnson’s help, we achieved an outcome that had seemed almost impossible. Judy was highly recommended to us as a children’s lawyer. She supported us in caring for a deeply troubled teenager. When we found ourselves in conflict with a local authority and social workers whom we believed had failed both the young person and us. Those concerns ultimately came before the family courts. In our experience, good hearted carers of foster placements, special guardian arrangements, and similar settings can be unfairly discredited when local authorities seek to avoid responsibility and shift blame. Judy Johnson is an outstanding lawyer who stood by us throughout six gruelling months in which we felt relentlessly vilified. We trusted her judgment at every stage, even as two elderly people facing circumstances we could scarcely have imagined. Judy guided us through every accusation and challenge, including what we regarded as malicious falsehoods intended to damage our reputation. We thought we had already experienced everything life could throw at us, but we were wrong. With Judy’s support, we withstood the local authorities attempt to avoid responsibility for what we believe was gross neglect. We wish more lawyers like Judy were available to help grandparents like us, who feel failed by the judicial system and confronted by local authorities whose conduct, in our experience, knows no bounds. In our experience, departments close ranks—-from social workers—-school staff—while serious complaints about dishonesty and misconduct go unaddressed. Judy Johnson, we can never thank you enough for helping us escape the appalling abuse we endured and for securing yesterday’s decisive victory.”

“Alex, is nothing short of extraordinary. She has been a constant source of strength, offering empathy and support. She is professional, knowledgeable and reliable, in the event I could not reach her she would return calls promptly. I can’t recommend Alex Goldrien and Slater Heelis highly enough. ”

“I cannot recommend Ardra highly enough. She has been exceptional throughout my family law case and provided an outstanding level of service from start to finish. Ardra handled my case with great professionalism, care and attention to detail. She demonstrated an excellent understanding of the legal issues involved and was always clear, thorough and reassuring in her advice. What stood out most to me was the way she handled me as a client. She listened carefully, understood what was important to me and always treated my concerns with respect and compassion. This was a very important and emotional matter for me, particularly as it involved spending time with my daughter following the court proceedings with her mother. Ardra worked diligently on my behalf and helped me achieve an outcome that allowed me to have that precious time with my daughter. Her professionalism, knowledge, dedication and genuine commitment to her clients are exceptional. I always felt that my case was in capable hands, and her support made a very difficult process much easier to navigate. Thank you, Ardra, for everything you have done for me. I am extremely grateful for your hard work and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for an excellent solicitor who truly cares about her clients.”
