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.

Paula Caldwell

Tagged solicitor Paula Caldwell

I needed a Consent Order done for my divorce and I was fully explained what the process involved. It was easy to understand, and if any further work was required it was a straightforward process and there was no hidden/unexpected costs at the end. I would use again for any other legal matters in the future.

Pernilla Finnila

Tagged solicitor Pernilla Finnila

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.

Lola was so understanding, and kind and experienced. Her professionalism shone through . She kept me informed every step.of the way and was able to recommend a barrister to represent me in court. It made the whole process so much easier, and I had a successful outcome for my daughter ....
