James Legg

Tagged solicitor James Legg

James has represented me as a Barrister in the last two court hearings in complex proceedings for child arrangements that lasted two years and with a last bundle of documents comprising of 389 pages. Although he wasn’t representing me for the first three hearing, his knowledge and insight on my case was excellent and what he brought to the Court attention in my last two Position Statements was decisive. His help and idea, to apply for an urgent in person hearing to solve a mistake made by an external agency for a Psychological Assessment ordered by the Judge, was crucial. Without his professional advice we wouldn’t have been able to submit such an important document. I am very grateful that, even though he is a In-House Barrister, he agreed to represent me also in my last hearing, even though it was a Pre-Trial of a Fact Finding Hearing. As the proceeding where taking a high toll on my mental health, with anxiety and PTSD, I appreciated very much his calm composure, preparedness, capacity to build trust and his empathy.
