Stephanie Buckeridge

Tagged solicitor Stephanie Buckeridge

Dealing with Stephanie Buckeridge in support of my divorce was much easier than I might have expected. Her professional advice, tempered with a supportive approach made the whole process acceptable. Her reaction to some of the requests from the other party matched my thoughts, though I was always provided with alternative approaches, along with potential consequences. I would certainly recommend Gardner Leader to others.

Bethan Davies

Tagged solicitor Bethan Davies

I cannot thank Bethan and her family law team enough. From start to finish, the were professional, compassionate and completely child-focused. Family proceedings can feel overwhelming, but I always felt supported, clearly advised and fully prepared. Their dedication and expertise secured a Special Guardianship Order and name change for my son, giving him the permanence and stability he deserves. The outcome has changed our lives immeasurably. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone facing family court proceedings. Forever grateful.

I engaged Karen Moore for divorce proceedings on the recommendation of a friend. I was so pleased I did. Karen was honest forthright and clear. She was totally professional and kept me up to date with everything. I felt she always had my best interest at heart. Although an expensive process she was worth every penny. She was very up front about cost expectation and process. I would have no hesitation it recommending her services. Her supporting team also deserves praise . Thank you for your support during what was a very difficult time.

This is the second time I have had occasion to use Pernilla on family matters. On both occasions her advice has been excellent, and whilst I truly hope I don't have to instruct her in formal proceedings I will have no hesitation in doing so if this matter does end in court again.

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.

Keri-Anne Bradley

Tagged solicitor Keri-Anne Bradley

Wow. When pray for help, sometimes you get sent an angel. Keri-Anne Bradley At the family law group not only showed me genuine care, but she was straight with me. She took my case on even with a huge work load from other areas because she was genuinely concerned for my children and she put them first the whole way through. I felt safe with her and the trust was instantly there which I struggle with when it comes to solicitors due to past experiences with others! She got us the results we needed in an emergency situation and now my children are so much happier for it. The bar is set very high with this one! Absolute angel, and extremely professional. Thank you from me for your amazing service and my family would all like to say thank you as well!
