Tom Joyce

Tagged solicitor Tom Joyce

Tom gave great advice and kept the whole of the child order laser focused on my child and how the best outcome could be achieved. Between Tom and a brilliant Barrister we got the result that not only made me happy but was fair and balanced for my child.

Sonia Racker

Tagged solicitor Sonia Racker

I was knee deep thick in an ongoing, difficult court battle custody of my children, one of which is currently battling a brain tumour & Hydrocephalus. I had lost complete faith in the firm i was working with who showed very little interest in my case & whom i had to chase continuously despite going through a traumatic & particularly stressful period in my life on top of court proceedings. Sonia is amazing ! From the second she took on my case, she was impecabile. She communicated constantly, i was never in the dark, was reliable, knowledgable, professionable, approachable, honest & reliable. Sonia represented me with very little notice, was up to scratch & put to bed a case that had been dragging on for far too long. I will forever be grateful, cant recommend her enough & will only ever trust her to deal with in future

I was incredibly impressed with Chloe when I spoke to her about a child arrangement issue recently. She was incredibly reassuring at a stressful time. She was considered and had a great manner.

Ian Brunt

Tagged solicitor Ian Brunt

I worked with Ian regarding an Adoption case. I am an Advocate and I was the Litigation Friend for Dad. Ian was fantastic with the person I was supporting. Ian took time to explain to Dad, in great, simplistic language, what was happening, what Dad's rights where, and how I could help, and Ian could help too. Myself and Ian had a wonderful working relationship, ensuring the best possible outcome for Dad, working in joint partnership. Ian took great steps to explain in clear and honest communication what Dad's rights were, even in what was a very difficult case. Ian was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always had a friendly smile to greet us. I would use Ian again and would recommend him to the colleagues in my organisation.
