Gabriella Kent

Tagged solicitor Gabriella Kent

I honestly can’t thank Gabriella and Hannah Lilley at Rothera Bray enough for everything they’ve done for me during my family court case. From the very beginning, Gabriella was reassuring, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for me and my child. One of the biggest challenges I faced was getting legal aid, and while other firms either turned me away or didn’t want to deal with the process, Gabriella took it on without hesitation. She put in a lot of effort and worked through every detail to make sure I got the support I needed – something I’ll always be grateful for. Hannah, the paralegal working alongside Gabriella, was also amazing. She kept everything well organised, made sure I had all the right documents in place, and always responded quickly whenever I had questions or needed help. She’s incredibly efficient and easy to talk to, which made a huge difference during a really stressful time. Together, they made me feel heard, supported, and genuinely looked after throughout the case. I would absolutely recommend Rothera Bray to anyone looking for a caring and hardworking legal team. These two are a credit to the firm!
