Jane-Louise Burrows

Tagged solicitor Jane-Louise Burrows

I highly recommend Jane-Louise for children matters mediation, particularly for parents who have reached an initial agreement and need professional guidance to formalise it and plan for the future. Jane-Louise was exceptional at facilitating and refining our existing parenting arrangements. She didn't just document what we had agreed upon; she proactively helped us think through contingencies we hadn't considered, such as schools, communication protocols, and potential changes as the children grow older. I would highly recommend Fullers Family Law.

Sarah Buxton

Tagged solicitor Sarah Buxton

I have been involved in protracted complex children matters for almost 3 years which have recently come to an end thanks to the invaluable help of Sarah who has been there every step of the way. I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support I received from Sarah and Isabel throughout my case. From the outset they demonstrated outstanding legal expertise and also a deep understanding of the complexities and sensitivities involved in my matter. Sarah took every measure to ensure I felt protected and never left me to deal with difficult moments alone. Sarah was always mindful of the nature of my relationship with my ex partner and went above and beyond to safeguard my wellbeing at every stage. No detail was overlooked and clear, strategic advice was provided at each stage which ultimately led to the best outcome for us. Sarah's unwavering commitment, professionalism and genuine empathy and care made an incredibly difficult process much more manageable. I will always be grateful for everything Sarah has done for my child and I. Thank you for never letting me give up and for fighting tirelessly for what was best for my child- I couldn't have asked for a better team to stand by me throughout this process. I highly recommend Sarah and Isabel to anyone facing issues with complex children matters.

Hayley Geen

Tagged solicitor Hayley Geen

Hayley was my solicitor for my child arrangements matter. From my very first meeting with her, I found her to be incredibly empathetic, understanding, and professional. She truly listened to me, and I felt heard and understood during a very stressful time in my life. Hayley always explained the legal process clearly. She is highly knowledgeable, and throughout the proceedings, I felt completely safe in her hands. Even when I felt deeply anxious about the case, she always provided the legal advice and guidance I needed. James, the paralegal, was also fantastic. He really helped me throughout the process and went above and beyond. Communication was excellent throughout my case. Hayley and James were highly responsive, always returning my calls and emails promptly, which gave me immense peace of mind. I never felt like I had to chase for a response because I knew Hayley had everything under control. Even when my very long matter came to an end, Hayley still helped to ensure all final details relating to my case were wrapped up and complete. She thoroughly fought my corner, and I am so glad she was on my side. Thanks to Hayley's guidance and expertise, we achieved a positive outcome. I am so incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone facing family court proceedings. Thank you Hayley, you are truly an exceptional solicitor
