Nicola Conley

Tagged solicitor Nicola Conley

Having never thought I would be in a position to need a solicitor I found myself with no option and no idea what to ‘look for’ so I went with my heart and gut and a person who seemed very trustworthy and professional - well that was the right decision and Nicola has been incredible. It’s been a long and windy journey and without Nicola goodness knows what would have happened - she not only was amazing professionally but also believed in me when I didn’t. The children and I will be forever grateful. Thank you and also to the team at downs.

Lauren Riley

Tagged solicitor Lauren Riley

When faced with the difficult decision to seek an enforcement order for a child arrangement order, I knew I needed a solicitor who was not only legally sharp but also deeply understanding of the sensitive nature of the situation. From the moment I instructed her, Lauren Riley proved to be exactly that and more. The process of enforcing a child arrangement order can be incredibly stressful, and Lauren handled every step with a perfect balance of legal assertiveness and genuine compassion. She listened carefully to my concerns about the breaches of the order and meticulously gathered the necessary evidence. Lauren’s guidance was invaluable, as she clearly explained the legal requirements and what to expect from the court proceedings. Her communication was excellent; she was always available to answer my questions and provided regular updates, which gave me immense peace of mind during a very anxious time. Lauren's ability to present a clear and compelling case to the court was instrumental in the positive outcome we achieved. She was a tireless advocate for my child’s best interests, and I felt completely confident in her representation. Thanks to Lauren's expertise and dedication, me and my child are getting required building blocks put in place by the court . I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren Riley to any parent who needs a solicitor to navigate the complexities of child arrangements and enforcement. She is a compassionate and formidable lawyer who truly fights for what is right."
